-
Soak wart in warm water for 10
to 15 minutes. Take out and pat dry.
-
Pare down softened skin gently
with either emery board or pumice stone until all softened tissue is removed.
-
Apply wart medication (Occulusal-HP,
Occlusal, Duofilm, Duoplant) to wart.
-
Allow medication to dry
completely. It will usually turn a white, chalky color when completely dry.
-
Cover wart with a piece of
Blenderm tape, to be left on until the next time the wart is treated.
-
Continue this treatment
nightly. More than likely, you will come to a point in time when the skin
surrounding the wart is irritated. When this occurs, wart treatment should be
discontinued for several days, until the surrounding skin has recovered. Then
reinstitute wart treatment, as given above. You may find that you are only
able to tolerate this several nights on, several nights off, or on an every
other night basis.
-
You will find the wart will
gradually decrease in size. If small enough at the time of your next
appointment, a decision will be made to either continue this form of wart
treatment or to institute additional treatment modalities
