Suggest Treatment For Warts On Fingers
Question: is there a natural way to get rid of warts on fingers?
Brief Answer:
different options available
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different treatment options: (1) You can wait it out and monitor because it is possible that it may go away on its own though this can take months (sometimes years) to occur
(2)Duct tape- this is applied over the affected area for 6 days continuously. After it is removed, you can soak the fingers and try to remove the wart by abrasion with a pumice stone.
If some remains then reapply for another 6 days. This can be done for 6 weeks if needed.
(3) application of over the counter meds such as salicyclic acid. This can come in different formats (liquid , gel etc).
It is normally applied once daily for most formats. The wart responds by pealing off , this occurs after numerous applications.
Soaking the area first would improve the response.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
