Pediatrician Questions Warts

What is the treatment for warts in children?

My son is 5 years old and I have noticed a few warts on his hands. How can these be treated? Can they spread to other parts of the body?

1 Answer

They can spread. You can use Compound W over the counter. Soak the hand in warm water and file the warts with an emery board. Apply the Compound W and cover. Repeat in 48 hours until the wart peels off.
