Can Human Interferon α2b Gel completely remove warts?

Human interferon α2b gel usually cannot completely remove warts, but it can serve as an adjunctive treatment. If any physical discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention at a hospital as soon as possible, and then follow the doctor's instructions for treatment.

Human interferon α2b gel is an immunomodulating agent with antiviral and immune-regulating properties. In terms of antiviral action, it can directly act on virus-infected cells and inhibit viral replication. Regarding human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes warts, interferon α2b can reduce the amount of virus to a certain extent, thus helping the warts to regress. However, it usually cannot completely eliminate warts on its own.

Particularly large, deep, or recurrent warts, such as genital warts and plantar warts, cannot be fully removed solely by human interferon α2b gel. These types of warts are often deeply rooted and require more effective treatments, such as surgical excision, cryotherapy, or laser therapy. Additionally, if the patient has a weak immune system or suffers from other chronic diseases, the treatment effectiveness may be compromised, making it difficult to completely eliminate the warts.

All medications and therapies should be properly used under a doctor's guidance. After applying the ointment, it is important to wash hands promptly. Daily diet should be light and nutritious, avoiding spicy or irritating foods. Adequate rest is necessary, and scratching the affected area and surrounding skin should be avoided. Maintaining local cleanliness and hygiene is also important.
