Warts On Legs, Leaving Scars After Freezing Off. Any Treatment That Don't Leave Scar?
I have a question about warts. I have had warts on my right leg so I was a kid. The past 2 years I have had then frozen off by my doctor. It leaves scars so I'm looking for a treatment that won't leave scars. What could you suggest? My dermatologist prescribed me Aldara the cream, but it is too expensive. Is there a generic? Also my warts on my legs spread to my pubic the past 2 days.
HI, Thanks for writing to us. The freezing technique is called cryotherapy. The lesions treated with cryo therapy may heal with scars or marks. You may get the lesions removed by cautery for better response. Whatever post inflammatory pigmentation remains can be treated with hydroquinone and tretinoin. Aldara is imiquimod. So you may try finding the cheaper option at your place. Hope that helped
