My dd has warts all over her, by her hands her stomache her feet on her back everywhere. What do I do to get rid of them? do they go away on their own?

We went to a dermatologist who gave us a cream but it's hard to always remember to put it on and I don't think it did much when I did remember for a whole week to put it on. Besides for the warts she has terrible excema so she looks red all over with lots of small bumps it's really gross to look at so please all advice welcome thank you in advance.

Thanks!

Warts are caused by a virus, right? or other germ? Did you tell the dr that the cream isn't working out ?

When I was a kid I had little warts all over my hands. My dermatologist chemically froze them. They turned into large, painful blisters Confused

, but when they healed the warts were completely gone. I can't imagine that your DD would want them all done at once, but maybe a few at a time?

I've also heard that putting duct tape on warts can make them disappear. It's not a quick fix - you have to put it on for several weeks at least - but it supposedly works.

check her carefully you should find that at least a few are bigger then the others if you freeze those then the rest will fall off. My dd had warts severasl years ago and NOTHING worked to get rid of them. We tried home freezing, creams, duct tape I finally took her to the walk in clinic when I got my flu shot and the dr froze them. Gone within a few weeks. I had warts several years before that and I let them go till they were huge, I still have scars.

Sounds like moloscum (sp?). The rash appears when the body fights the warts, when the rash goes away, the warts in that area will also go away. (so says my pediatrician). I have used aldara, with NO results, for my 3 dd's. for my son, the derm. gave me something else, the name slipped my mind now, and they went away almost immed. She told me that some ppl swwear by one cream, others by the other, you can only know which one will work if you try it out. warning: if your insurance doesnt cover it, aldara is extremely expensive. basically, get over to a dermotologist if it is really bothering her. most dr's will not treat it otherwise.

I had warts all over my hands as a kids. Freezing/burning didn't work, for me although I hear it works on many ppl. After 3 tries, the dr referred us to a dermatologist that does laser. It took a few sessions but they finally zapped the warts. 13 years later I still have some scar tissue but it's hardly noticeable.
