Hi AAAA

Podowart is is very effective and strong drug capable of causing severe side effects.

It Is better to apply it in presence of skin specialist.

Now since you have already applied you better take some antibiotics.

T-bact is ointment containing mupirocin .It Is effective in treating bacterial infection.

Also oral antibiotics like azithromycin or augmentin may be needed.

Clean the area daily with warm water and soap. Use antiseptic wash if possible.

Also visit a dermatologist who can examine and treat your warts and infection.

Hope this helps .

Any further clarification if you need ,please do ask me.
