What should I do if a flat wart itches?

When flat warts become itchy, the following measures can help relieve and treat the symptoms: 1. Keep the area clean: Wash the affected area with warm water and a mild soap solution to reduce bacterial infection and alleviate itching. 2. Avoid scratching: Try to avoid scratching the affected area to prevent spreading or worsening the infection. 3. Topical treatments: Apply anti-inflammatory and anti-itch creams, such as hydrocortisone cream or mometasone furoate cream. Additionally, lotions or gels containing antihistamine ingredients may also be used to relieve itching, but should be used under a doctor's guidance. 4. Cold compress: Wrap ice in a clean towel and gently apply it to the affected area for 5–10 minutes at a time to help relieve itching. 5. Antiviral therapy: Take oral or topical antiviral medications, such as acyclovir tablets or valacyclovir hydrochloride capsules, to reduce viral replication and thereby alleviate symptoms. 6. Seek medical attention: If itching persists or worsens, promptly consult a doctor to consider physical treatments such as laser therapy or cryotherapy.
