When I saw my doctor on Thursday, she recommended either anti-wart pads, or salicylic acid to paint onto the wart. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude and adrian_turtle went to the drugstore yesterday and bought some wart pads (labeled as being for feet, but the "do not use" locations are genital warts, the face, and mucus membranes).
I have now applied the first patch. I cut the cushioning patch in half because the wart is near a knuckle, and will hope it stays on. The package saying that this "salicylic acid 40%.
The package says to repeat the procedure every 48 hours until the wart is removed, for up to 12 weeks. If the cushioning pad comes off too soon, I may try putting a band-aid over it, or use an entire cushioning pad (instead of a semicircle) with the next medicated patch.
If that doesn't work, I'll buy the wart remover that comes in a bottle with a tiny brush.
