How to treat warts effectively?

The treatment of warts is difficult for many patients because the treatment time is relatively long and squeezing the warts is a very painful process. It is recommended to directly apply iodine tincture or use Chinese medicine decoction for external washing.

1. The classic treatment for warts or molluscum contagiosum has a special term - squeezing warts. The purpose is to remove the contents of the molluscum and destroy the cyst.

2. However, this method is very painful and difficult for patients to accept, especially children. Those with more damage may not even be able to persist in the treatment. At this time, there is no need to squeeze the warts for treatment, but oral Chinese herbal decoctions should be the main treatment. If the onset time is short, the main treatment should be clearing away heat, detoxifying and dispelling wind. Medicinal purslane mixture: 60g purslane, 15g isatis indigotica, 10g each of lithospermum and patrinia. Take it in decoction, 1 dose per day. If the illness has been going on for a long time, the main treatment is to nourish the blood, detoxify and remove blood stasis. Medicinal decoction for treating warts: 15g of cooked rehmannia, 12g each of fried white peony root, red peony root, red moutan bark, peach kernel, Achyranthes bidentata, Polygonum multiflorum, Eucommia ulmoides, red bean, fried Atractylodes macrocephala, and pangolin, and 30g of raw coix seed.

3. At the same time, apply iodine tincture directly to the wart or use Chinese medicine decoction for external washing.
