Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Hi lybrate-user, thank you for asking the question using Lybrate.
For warts the first line of treatment is topical ointments. 1% flonida cream is actually for horny warts that happen as a result of cancers, so obviously it hasn't cured the plain simple warts.
The treatment of choice is salicylic acid ointments. Not every salicylic ointment works though. Only salicylic ointment that has 17% of salicylic acid will work.
Procedure of application - soak the wart area with warm saline wat...more
