Hi David, What do you use to treat water warts, internally and externally? From what I’ve read, it’s a different virus from common or plantar warts. I’ve seen topical herbal products with neem, gotu kola, and aloe, and an internal homeopathic thuja. The person is an adult, no official autoimmunity but has had 2 difficult winters with 3-4-month-long illnesses. She had 1 wart on her foot for years (didn’t realize what it was), but a few more have come up this summer (maybe 6 total). She’s also had common warts on her fingers in the past, about 10 yrs ago, which were treated with several rounds of freezing at the dermatologist. She has a cold dry constitution, so I’d be concerned using neem internally for long-term (long enough to treat warts!). Grateful for any guidance! Thanks, Jennifer

water warts is a common name for Mulluscum contagiosum which is a pox virus usually found in children aged 2-12 Duct Tape - Cover the Molluscum: (do not do this on tender sensitive skin like the face) Covering them with duct tape can irritate them. This turns on the body's immune system. Cover as many of them as possible. (Cover at least 3 of them.) The covered ones become red and start to die. When this happens, often all of them will go away. Try to keep them covered all the time. Remove the tape once per day, usually before bathing. Then replace it after bathing. Some children don't like the tape on at school. At the very least, tape it every night. Prevent the Spread to Other Areas of Your Child's Body: Discourage your child from picking at them. Picking it and scratching a new area with the same finger can spread them. A new one can form in 1 to 2 months. Chewing or sucking on them can lead to similar bumps on the face. If your child is doing this, cover them. You can use a bandage (such as Band-Aid). Keep your child's fingernails cut short and wash your child's hands more often. other treatments include topical tea tree EO, Lemon Myrtle EO, there is a product called Ghotucream, that is supposedly very effective as well.
