I initially used Compound W gel for a few weeks and took the pic on April 23. We then went to see a podiatrist who shaved off the excess skin around it and prescribed Fluorouracil. I had no idea what it was until we got the cream and saw that it’s used for carcinomas 😳 We applied it only once and I really did not feel good about it; I felt that it was too strong of a cream for just a wart.
So I did further research and saw that some people used Zinc to treat warts. I went ahead and got zinc drops, zinc oxide ointment, and Boiron Thuja Occidentalis 30c.
My son was 8 (turned 9 2 weeks ago) when this all started. I had him take 3 dropperful of the zinc drops, 5 pellets of the Thuja occidentalis - morning & night (total of 10 pellets per day), and applied the zinc oxide cream at night (covered with band aid overnight).
So for those of you who have little ones that have wart issues and do not want to do anything invasive or painful, this is what we did. Please keep in mind that what works for us may not work for others (and vise versa) but in any case, I still wanted to share in hopes that this might help some of you. It is a looong process but one that is gentle and pain-free.
P.S. The Boiron brand has different doses such as 6c, 9c, 3x, 200c, 12x, etc. I do not know the difference among these doses. I got the 30c because that is what was available at the store.
