Another wart has appeard! What do please?!

[dhurgadha]

A few weeks ago I had a wart removed at the hospital (cut off) from the right side of my cheek. Now a few weeks on, there is one coming up on my left cheek! It's in it's early stages.. Is there ANYTHING I can do to prevent it growing. I've tried putting crushed aspirin on it, aswell as honey, but it's still coming up bigger every day.

Please help! I am tempted to cut it open while in it's early stages, and maybe put aspirin there as I heard this helps?

Hello,
For these warts, several medications (like podophyllum resin, Podofilox (Condylox), Trichloroacetic and bichloroacetic acids, Imiquimod 5% cream and interferons) are available, which can be applied directly to the surface of the warts. Other treatment options include electrical cautery, surgical removal, Carbon dioxide laser treatment and electrodesiccation.

In my opinion you should talk to a cosmetologist/dermatologist about this and get these warts evaluated.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

DO NOT cut it off yourself! ok, have a nice day! :-)

go to cvs or walgreens and purchase Wart Remover Solution which contains a high concentration of salicylic acid. this will definitely stop it from growing any larger. as for curing it, I'm no doctor, so that's beyond me. Buy the solution and best of luck!
