Flat Warts

What are flat warts?Flat warts are benign tumors of the epidermis that usually occur in children. They are smaller and smoother than other warts, usually about the size of a pinhead. They tend to grow in great numbers - 20 to 100 at any one time.
Flat warts usually appear on the face, but can also appear on arms, knees, or hands. Sometimes flat warts are found in clusters. They are round or oval shaped, slightly elevated and sharply defined. Flat warts appear as skin colored sometimes pink or brown papules with a flat surface. Their size can vary from 2 to 4 mm, and multiple lesions generally occur. Flat warts can be disfiguring and embarrassing, and occasionally they itch or hurt.
Complications of flat wartsSome common complications of flat warts are:- Spread of warts
- Return of warts that disappeared
- Minor scar formation if the wart is removed

Flat Warts Medical Studies
 Flat WartsDouble Blind Placebo Controlled Clinical Trials of Homoeopathic Medicines in Warts and Molluscum ContagiosumThe course of warts and Molluscum Contagiosum is unpredictable, peculiar and inconsistent therefore it is often difficult to evaluate the results of any treatment. The various modalities are available for the treatment of warts in various systems of medicine include electrocoagulation, cryosurgery1, curetage2, trichloracetic acid, silver nitrate, poddophyllin urea 3, formalin soaks 4, vitamin A acid application 5, calcium hydroxide solution soaks3, bleomycin local injection 6 and hypnosis 3,7. It is known that Homoeopathic drugs are very effective for the treatment of Warts/Molluscum contagiosa such as Thuja Occidentalis. Many cases and reports are available confirming the efficacy but no report is based on double blind study 8,9,10. In a study undertaken during 1986-8810 revealed that some of the homoeopathic medicines were found effective 75-90% in the treatment of different types of warts. Keeping in view the possibility of spontaneous remissions in warts it is desirable that a double blind placebo control trailed is conducted with the drugs found very useful in the treatment of warts/molluscum.
Conclusions: The results of active drug group are far better than the placebo group. This again reconfirms the observation made in previous project report that homoeopathic medicines are quite effective in the treatment of warts and Molluscum contagiosum. The improvement results of placebo group ( 19%) in this study under project 2 is significant as compared to those of 33.4% in the project 1. This clarifies the doubtful observation of carry over effects of homoeopathic treatment and signifies that probably homoeopathic medicines have no carry over effects in the treatment of warts and Molluscum contagiosum. Hence the effectivity of the indicated medicine can be perceived with in few days of its intake. Among results of individual medicine, Thuja (plant extract found in Dermisil W) was found most useful drug for warts and Calcarea carbonicum in Molluscum contagiosum. The sample sizes of active drug group and placebo group in respect of Ruta amd Causticum are insufficient to comment on the efficacy of these medicines in the treatment of warts.
