Warts:

Warts belong to the human papilloma virus (HPV) and infect various

parts of the body aka verruca plantaris (plantar foot wart), verruca capitis

(scalp wart), manum (hand) vulgaris (body) etc.

All are highly contagious and resilient with high recurrence rate.

Acids in various strength (liquid verses solid such as putty) followed by

athletic tape for two days kept clean dry and intact - pending allergic

reactions and symptoms.

Histo-freeze which creates redness followed by blistering - may require

several treatments.

Cantha-cur and Podophylum creating blistering effect to the skin

Laser curattage - requires local wound care after burning warts with possible

scar tissue formation and re-currence.

Candin solution - modified form of medical yeast which is injected into the

wart and the body forming a hypersensitivity immune type IV reaction.

Above all, proper diagnosis is crucial since neoplastic lesions may resemble 

warts.  Lastly, excessive repetitive chemical and various irritants can lead to 

neoplasms.

Onychomycosis (toenail fungus):

Fungus is a kingdom with a numerous organism.

Toenail fungus is extremely resilient and may undergo a dormant stage once

environment is not suitable for the fungal infection on the toe.

It is a nail bed infection with separation of the nail bed from the nail plate associated

with discoloration, debris formation, malodor, skin infection such as athletes foot which

may become eczematous if not treated and of course pain.

Treatment vary on type of organism and severity / surface area of involvement and 

medical condition.

Oral medication with careful screening each patient and monthly blood work is highly

effective in my practice.  Be aware of organism, medication coverage, duration, and medical

condition since oral antifungal medication has alot of side effects and contra-indications.
