Brooklyn or near.
Please recommend somebody good who can remove some warts from a child’s hand.
Preferably should accept UHC comm plan.

I don't know which insurances he accepts, but Dr. Weiss in Flatbush is excellent.
If you just have this issue, you can use Dr. Snow in BP too.

Thanks, dr Weiss doesn’t accept my insurance.
What’s the reason I should use dr snow only for this? Is he not so good? Because I was actually considering him.

don't use dr. snow! he didn't want to burn off a wart on a 3 year old.thought it would be traumatic. He prescribed "wart cream" that was really a skin cancer cream. When my dh went to pick it up pharmacy said it was $600.That sent off alarm bells, and we looked it up and discovered that this highly controversial cream attacks the autoimmune system and a lot of ppl had many problems from the cream.(we refused it) I was so angry. Never went back. It fell off a two weeks later by itself. How can you prescribe something like that to a 3 year old??!!

Removing warts can be very very painful maybe just use a wart remover

He's not helpful and sometimes I wonder about him. We stopped using him. He did once remove a wart for dd years ago using a device to scoop it out. The procedure went well. Understandably, she screamed.
Dr. Weiss was going to burn off a wart for same dd now but she was afraid so she's using Compound W Gel over the counter per his recommendation. She files down the wart when she sees the top layer turning white / dead skin from cream usage.

A few years ago two of my kids had warts at the same time. We were going to have them removed but then a doctor recommended that I take apple cider vinegar and soak a small amount of a cotton ball in it and put it on the wart and wrap it with a band aid or tape. It took a couple of days but it disappeared. I don't remember how many times a day we did it but I'd say to try in the morning and before bed. Hatzlacha.

I was successful in removing a wart from my hand by just covering it with duct tape. I did not use vinegar. If I remember correctly I changed the tape whenever it got ratty looking and it took about two weeks for the wart to disappear. It's been a few years and it never came back.

amother please! Wart remover coasts less than $10 and is painless. Just apply every day.
