DS warts are spreading

6 replies

DS3 has had a wart on the back of his ring finger for a good couple of years. About a year ago it went black and fell off, but has grown back bigger. He's now got another tiny one on his little finger and on his index finger but these seem to be growing in size quite quickly. They have black dots in them like verrucas.

Is there anything I can do to treat them? They just seem to be getting bigger and bigger.

My ds went through hell and back with his feet and hands. Gp froze them once in a blue moon but they got worse. Filed them down on the hands, ds started biting them off which I wasn't happy about, but he started secondary and was so embarrassed.

Do not know what happened but they sudden cleared up, so hope that can give you at least a bit of positive. They do go eventually.

Sorry I can't be more help

Thuja and silver nitrate worked for my DD

I put vinegar on some I got on my hands during pregnancy. I soaked a piece of cotton wool, placed it on the wart and covered with a plaster overnight. In the morning it had soaked it up and turned black. After a couple of days it dried up and came away. It doesn't seem to work on verrucas though. I'm currently trying nail varnish on my daughters verruca and failing that will try the duct tape method, both recommended on here.
I find filing them down and using medicine like Bazuka makes them spread.

Soak a small piece of cotton wool in organic Apple cider vinegar, tape it in place over the wart and leave overnight (using medical or duct tape). I do this for 2 weeks and the wart first turns black then falls off by itself.
