Has anyone used OTC wart removers to get rid of warts on the hands ? As a child I used to handle frogs and they gave me hand warts (or so the medieval witchcrafte legends say). In any event I have a tendency to occasionally develop warts on the backs of my fingers and sometimes on the front part. I recently developed a small wart on the front of my index finger and tried a product called "Duofilm" (salicylic acid + colloidion). and it seems to have done the job, dissolving a few layers of skin in the process. In any event I am hoping that once it heals the wart won't return. But the stubborn one is on the back of the index finger, a wart I have had for many years. It seems to be taking forever to dissolve. I keep applying the medicine and I keep filing and peeling it away but dang... it must have some deep roots. They say it cant take 12+ weeks to work.
They can also remove them by freezing them off but from what I read the method can require several treatments, can be painful, and doesn't always work. Another method is to burn with laser radiation. They say it can be painful but it does work most of the time.
It seems like it is one of those ailments that has been around as long as history can remember but, medicine still has medicine baffled as far as a sure fire cure goes.
