Comparison of trichloroacetic acid versus cantharidine for the treatment of perenial warts.
Full description
Warts are one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. They are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer. Warts can grow, obstruct labor, and spread. Patients presenting to the obgyn clinic with perenial warts were randomized to treatment with trichloroacetic acid (one of the many types of treatments) or to the treatment with cantharidine group. Cantharidine is a vesicant extracted from beetle bugs which painlessly causes a small blister to form and cures the patient from the HPV infection causing the wart . We compared cosmesis, scar formation, pain and number of treatments (visits) as well as effectiveness in both groups.
