Worry Wart
I have a wart on my hand, what should I do? Is there any way I can get rid of it?
A nice pair of wooly mittens aren’t exactly the perfect accessory to go with your new sundress. But there is no need to be a worry-wart. If you’ve just recently noticed the bump and it’s small, dermatologist Dr. Jerome Litt suggest an over-the-counter medication with a mixture of salicylic acid—Wart-Away, Oclcusal-HP or Dr. Scholl’s Clear Away.
You apply it to the wart on a daily basis for a few weeks. The medicine works better when applied to damp skin so, after you bathe, dry the wart off with a towel before applying. The next day, pumice or file dead skin off the west before you jump in the shower and reapply medicine. If over-the-counter products don’t zap that wart, check with your doctor or a dermatologist.
