Do not let your child pick at the warts. The wart shows signs of infection such as redness, swelling or pus. The wart causes pain from rubbing against clothing or shoes. The wart causes a fingernail or toenail to grow improperly. You think the wart is unsightly and is growing on the face or other area where it can be easily seen.
New warts develop after three weeks of home treatment.
Warts are common in childhood. Warts are caused by a virus and are not caused by playing with toads or frogs. Warts come and go as they wish. Warts can appear in groups on your child's hands or feet. Most warts will go away on their own in two years.
