🦶💛 When home treatments bring the opposite effect…
Today, a young patient came to me after a parent attempted to remove a viral wart at home using an acid-based method.
Instead of healing, it caused irritation, burning and pain — and created a real risk of infection.
A gentle reminder:
👉 Viral warts are dermatological lesions, not cosmetic imperfections.
👉 Acid-based preparations are a clinical procedure — when used incorrectly, they can burn healthy skin and leave scars.
👉 A child’s skin is extremely sensitive, so every suspicious lesion should be assessed by a specialist.
🧡 At Podomedica, safety always comes first.
