Common warts
I had a minor wart on my left hand and had gotten it surgically removed by a good surgeon (or so I thought) and for a while there weren't any signs of its growth. But now it has spread all over my left hand with 12-13 warts. Was there any other way that should've been done to cure them? Or there's some infection that's causing them? I've been to two different surgeons multiple times in the past 5 years and the results are all the same; no good has come from it other than my hand being operated and the number shooting up.
Hello sir..... The Warts are a result of infection due to a virus called human papilloma virus. The management varies from surgical Excision, cryotherapy, rf ablation, cauterization, plasma therapy and so on. But in all these cases the treatment for the viral infection should be added. Either local or systemic. Then only the recurrence is prevented. So I'd like u to advise u to ask about the same or do consult me in case required.
