Brief Answer: Palmar Warts Detailed Answer: Dear Friend. I am Dr Charu Bansal. I have read your query and have seen the attached pic also. You are right, these are Palmar Warts. I advise you following treatment : 1. Electrocautery / Radiofrequency by a dermatologist. This is the cheap and best way out. 2. Other less preferred way outs are : Topical Salicylic and Lactic acid preparation widely available in market with names like Salactin lotion / Duofilm lotion. Don't scratch and cut them, else they would spread to you and others in contact also. Get them removed at the earliest by Radiofrequency / Electrocautery. This is my best advise for you, If you have any further query you may please ask me.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
