Suggest Remedy For Warts On Legs
My four year old has gradually accumulated a few warts on each of the inside of his legs. He complains that they hurt often but I'm unsure of how I can treat them or even how they came about.
Where would they have come from and how would I treat them?

Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of warts on legs which seems that you have fungal infection of legs leading to fungal warts. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply vitamin E oil, clove oil, aloe vera juice or milkweed juice , keep it dry and clean . Clean it with betadine , also apply over the counter anti fungal ointments. You should wear loose clothes and avoid sharing clothes. You should avoid touching or pricking skin. You should maintain complete cleanliness. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination and rule out secondary infection . Doctor may prescribe anti fungal medicine like fluconazole along with corticosteroid ointment .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
