Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Quick and effective treatments for flat warts include medication therapy, physical therapy, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy. Medication therapy may involve topical applications such as tretinoin cream and imiquimod cream, which inhibit lesion growth and promote surface exfoliation. Physical therapies, such as liquid nitrogen cryotherapy and laser treatment, directly target flat wart tissues for rapid removal. TCM therapies include external applications of herbal medicine and acupoint injections; specific treatments should be selected based on individual conditions and physician recommendations. All treatments should be conducted under a doctor's supervision, and attention should be paid to maintaining good personal hygiene and enhancing immunity to prevent recurrence. The speed of treatment effectiveness varies among individuals; quick and effective treatment does not imply immediate cure, and continuous therapy is necessary.
