Local Treatment.-In General
It is a dangerous thing to meddle with warts locally. Especially is this the case with
mushroom warts (with short pedicle and flattened tops). Warts may be psoric or sycotic,
or they may be closely allied to epithelial cancer. In the case of common warts, the same remedy that is being taken internally may be applied externally to the warts in a solution once a day. Solid lunar caustic is sometimes an effectual application. Glacial acetic acid, applied every three or four days, has the advantage of not discoloring the part. Chromic acid may be used also.
