Abstract:
Common cutaneous warts are dermatological conditions caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). Despite of being a benign condition, it sometimes leads to cosmetic disfigurement. Warts also have a tendency to koebnerize, and can be transmitted to others thus making adequate and timely management necessary. Though there are various conventional treatments available, topical, intralesional and systemic immunotherapies are creating a significant space for themselves in the management of warts because of their non destructive nature. Through this case series of 5 cases of common cutaneous warts, our focus was on a combination of intralesional immunotherapy and oral zinc acetate and simultaneously compared it with topical retinoids on some of the lesions.
