1. Local drug treatment

You can use 10% to 20% salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid, or glacial acetic acid dissolved in an equal amount of elastic collodion and apply it to the warts, or apply 5% 5-fluorouracil ointment externally to cause the warts to necrotize and fall off. However, it may cause local irritation, redness and swelling (redness and swelling: redness and swelling of a part of the skin caused by local vascular dilation and excessive blood flow), chapped skin, pain, allergic reactions, pigmentation and other side effects. You can also inject 0.1 ml of 0.1% bleomycin saline solution into the base of common warts or plantar warts once every other day. After 2 to 3 times, the warts will fall off. This method has few side effects. Plantar warts can be treated with 3% formalin solution for local wet compresses or soaking, once a day for 15 minutes each time, for 4 to 8 weeks, which is often effective.
