Hi Doctor,
I got warts on my hands almost 7 to 8 months, I have consulted a dematologist. He has asked me to put my hands in warm water after adding betadine solution and later apply kerosol(Salicylic acid). However there is no improvement. Can you please suggest me what else can I do?

Warts are infectious skin growths that are caused when a virus infects the top layer of the skin. They appear as a small, rough growth on a person’s hands or feet, or on other parts of the body. There are many types of warts, some appearing flat or raised, sometimes they grow in large groups. They are harmless and not associated with any complications.
A wart can spread easily, so avoid scratching or picking your warts. Also, do not touch somebody else’s wart as you may get it too. They can be painful and get infected if not treated for a long time. Most people prefer some method of wart removal since warts are often unattractive and bothersome especially if they are in the feet and hands.
You can opt for any procedures for wart removal such as Cryo therapy, electrocoagulation, laser therapy and sometimes radiofrequency as well.
