Treatment for warts,moles and skin tags

Since the experts say that warts are caused by a virus, is there any kind of injection a person can take, like gamma globulin, that will stop them coming on the body?  When I was a child, my baby brother was born with pneumonia and the doctors gave the family shots of gamma globulin to keep us from bringing any germs back to him...would this not work now?

This is nothing but making a formation in your mind that that warts shall disappear,a kind of a hypnotherapy.

Just what is suggestion therapy?  I have done just about everything I can think of...I even went online and ordered a book that cost me dearly...I tried the suggestion there, but it involves wearing bandaids over the warts and since I'm allergic to latex I guess, I can't wear bandaids for an extended period of time....so, I'm open to just about anything at this point.

Some time ago I had a patient with florid warts in the mouth,and I had recommended surgery.But then this patient refused,and we had to resort to suggeton therapy.Off hand I told him the whole thing will resolve in a month,and beleive me it did take me by surprise when he presented next month wart free.That explains the interferons,I hope.Unfortunately I use medical jargon some time,Do kindly excuse me.

Sorry-interferons are chemicals which interfere with virus growth.This is a family of proteins that prevent the growth of the virus.Some people believe that you should let the body produce these chemicals instead of destroying the warts often.

Sorry, but you'll have to speak English when you respond to me...I'm familiar with lots of medical terms, but interferons is not one of them...also,  do you have any suggestions for me?   I've had moles, warts, and skin tags removed multiple times since 1972, but they just keep coming back and seem to be increasing their speed and coverage in coming back...

The body in response to the virus does produce interferons which sometimes result in spontaneous recovery.Gamma globulins are non speciic immune stimulants.
