Abstract Warts are one of the most common benign neoplasms. Warts are induced by over 100 types of human papillomavirus (HPVs) and can affect any race. Various treatments were considered to treat warts, of which topical salicylic acid and KOH are the most commonly used choices. Aim of the study To compare between the efficacy, safety and recurrence rate of topical 15% potassium hydroxide (KOH) and 20% Salicylic acid in the treatment of multiple palm plantar warts. Patients and methods study included 40 patients complaining of multiple palmar and/or planter warts 2 lesions at least. Each patient was treated by: Salicylic acid 20% used on one lesion and topical 15% KOH preparation used on another lesion. Assessment of patients’ response was done through clinical and dermoscopic examination. Results Salicylic acid results revealed that 5% of the treated lesions showed Clinical improvement without dermoscopic clearance, 40% showed Clinical clearance with dermoscopic remnants while 55% showed Clinical and dermoscopic clearance. KOH treated warts showed 5% of the treated lesions had clinical improvement without dermoscopic clearance, 25% showed clinical clearance with dermoscopic remnants while 70% showed clinical and dermoscopic clearance. Conclusion KOH therapy as well as patient satisfaction showed higher significant treatment response compared to salicylic acid therapy with less encountered side effects.

Verrucae (warts) are the most common viral infections of the skin, affecting 7% to 10% of the general population. Typically caused by human papillomavirus type 1, plantar warts manifest as benign proliferation of the epithelial cells on the feet. It has been cited that up to one-third of nongenital warts become recalcitrant, and biopsy is often required to confirm diagnosis and direct appropriate treatment. These treatments can vary from various types of oral medications, acids, ablative modalities, and injections. In this article, we present a case of a recalcitrant plantar wart that appeared to circumferentially spread from the initial site after first-line treatment and presumed resolution with the product cantharidin. The development of ring warts is a known complication associated with cantharidin use, with little described rationale to the presentation.

Background: Plantar warts are typically resistant to treatment. In recent years, treatments have included administration of intralesional tuberculin; measles, mumps, rubella vaccine; and Candida albicans antigen immunotherapy. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports of intralesional vitamin D administration for the treatment of warts. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intralesional vitamin D treatment for plantar warts. Methods: Twenty patients with single or multiple plantar warts were included in this study. Vitamin D3 (0.2 mL, 7.5 mg/mL) was injected into the base of the warts after prilocaine (0.1 mL, 20 mg/mL) injection. A maximum of 5 warts were treated in 1 session, with at maximum 2 injections performed at 4-week intervals. Results: In total, 16 of 20 patients (80%) showed complete resolution of warts, and 1 patient showed partial resolution. Three patients failed to show any response. No recurrence or serious adverse effects were observed. Conclusion: Intralesional vitamin D3 may be an effective treatment option for warts.
