!!!!! WARTS ON FACE AND HANDS !!!!!

I have WARTS on my cheeks and on my both upper arms from about 4 years ( NOW I AM 15 ). I have consulted a DERMATOLOGIST(at the age of 13) and he gave me a lotion and a cream which I had to apply on my face every night for 25 min by mixing each other in the ratio of 3:1..............then I consulted a HOMEOPATHIC DOCTOR (at the age of 14).........he gave me 3 medicines namely.......THUJA Q, CAUSTICUM AND DAMIANA (THUJA FOR APPLYING AND CAUSTICUM AND DAMIANA IN TABLET FORM).............they worked to a very little extent...............warts get a little cured but after sometime they started reappearing............now I surfed internet..........and found out that...........salicyclic acid can work on warts...............i don't think i should use it without the prescription of a doctor. HELP ME............GIVE ME A SOLUTION................WHAT SHOULD I DO...............I WANT MY FACE TO BE CLEAN, AS IT WAS 4 YEARS AGO.

Hello,

I had warts on my face and it started spreading, the doctor treated me for 3 years but nothing happened. I was so upset and angry. Then one day I met another doctor at someone's place who suggested a cream called - betnovate, and because I was so tired of my warts and the creams I was using (which made my skin itchy and dry) I tried betnovate and in 10 days my warts vanished. I would wash my face before sleeping and apply it gently in 2-3 circular motions and sleep, leaving a little cream visible. I hope this helps you!! (In case you try, make sure you dont miss it even on day/night)

i had seriously bad warts on my feet that one doctor tried to treat by repeatedly cutting into it and applying acid (did no good) and another just looked at and said, "i've never seen anything like this. I couldn't even lazer all of these." it was ultimately decided that i had an immune problem and would never be able to get rid of them.

i tried all kinds of drugstore remedies when doctors quit on me and nothing worked.

okay, this will be uncomfortable and have a strong smell, so do this after you're home for the day and not going out again, or overnight.

the cure for warts is apple cider vinegar. not white vinegar, but apple cider vinegar. put some on a cotton ball and stick that cotton ball straight on the wart. stick it there some kind of how. if you do it during the day you can hold it but it'd be best to keep it on overnight so see if the pharmasist can tell you if there's a medical tape that's okay to have on your face. with your arms you can use duct tape to help waterproof and keep the acv from getting on your clothes/sheets. take it off to go out.

john hopkins has done studies that showed the chemicals in duct tape glue actually help kill warts, too, so if you're wearing a short that would hide it, keep duct tape on the arm warts during the day so you're constantly attacking it. you'll probably want to use nair or something to take off the hair though or the constant taping and removing will hurt.

this may take months, and i don't  know how severe yours are, but if they've been there so long they probably have really deep roots. mine took two or three months. the acv is really mild so it won't do too much skin damage, but skin will come off where the wart is burrowing, so don't be alarmed, it's that much closer to getting it out.

this worked for me and i've been wart free for over a year.if you google wart remedies you'll find that this treatment is insanely popular and SUPER effective. but it does smell, so brace yourself. keep that acv on as long as you can, 5-6 hours if possible. should be no problem since you can tape the cotton balls onto your arms but on your face may be tricky. persevere, and good luck!
