caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Beispiel für die Therapie von Handwarzen mit wassergefiltertem Infrarot A (wIRA) 18 Jahre alter Junge mit multiplen periungualen Warzen: vor Beginn der Therapie (mit Placebosalbe, sichtbarem Licht und wassergefiltertem Infrarot A), nach 3, 6 und 18 Wochen. A: Vor der ersten Behandlung B: Vor der zweiten Behandlung C: Vor der dritten Behandlung D: 18 Wochen nach der ersten Behandlung (Schnellere Abnahme der „Gesamtwarzenfläche jedes Patienten“ in den Gruppen mit wassergefiltertem Infrarot A (wIRA) und sichtbarem Licht (VIS) im Vergleich zu den Gruppen mit nur VIS. Dagegen bestand kein Unterschied zwischen den Gruppen mit 5-ALA-Salbe und den Gruppen mit Plazebo-Salbe.) English: Example of the therapy of hand warts with water-filtered infrared-A (wIRA): 18 year old boy with multiple periungual warts: before starting with treatment (with placebo cream, visible light, and water-filtered infrared-A), after 3, 6 and 18 weeks. A: Before first treatment B: Before second treatment C: Before third treatment D: 18 weeks after first treatment (Faster reduction of "total wart area of each patient" with water-filtered infrared-A (wIRA) and visible light (VIS) compared to VIS only. There was, however, no difference between the groups with 5-ALA cream and the groups with placebo cream.)
context_page_description: Periungual warts are warts that cluster around the fingernail or toenail. They appear as thickened, fissured cauliflower-like skin around the nail plate. Periungual warts often cause loss of the cuticle and paronychia. Nail biting increases susceptibility to these warts.
  Warts of this kind often cause damage to the nail either by lifting the nail from the skin or causing the nail to partially detach. If they extend under the nail, then the patient may suffer pain as a result. Sometimes periungual wart infections resemble the changes that are found in onychomycosis. In worst cases, if the infection causes injury or damage to the nail matrix, deformity in the nail may become permanent.
  As with other wart types, a number of treatments are available, including laser therapy, cryotherapy, salicylic acid, and other topical treatments.
