How to Treat Flat Warts

The main treatments for flat warts include: 1. Medication: Topical medications such as tretinoin cream and imiquimod cream can inhibit lesion growth and promote exfoliation. Systemic medications, such as interferon, can be used to enhance immunity and control viral infection. Specific medication should be used under a doctor's guidance. 2. Physical therapy: Physical treatments such as liquid nitrogen cryotherapy and laser therapy can directly target the warts, causing them to atrophy and necrotize through low or high temperatures, thereby achieving removal. After physical therapy, care should be taken to avoid infection and sun exposure. 3. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): TCM offers various treatment methods, including external application of herbal medicine, acupoint injection, and acupuncture. These methods aim to improve the circulation of blood and energy (Qi) and enhance immunity to treat flat warts. However, TCM treatment should be individualized according to each patient's condition and performed under the guidance of a qualified TCM physician.
