Treatment of warts

John L. Bezzant,M.D.

Cantherone Plus is a combination of medications, including salicylic acid, podophyllin, and Cantharidin. The primary ingredient is Cantharidin, which is a blistering agent extracted from a blistering beetle. I define it as a painless treatment because it does not hurt (unless there are fissures in the skin) at the time of application in physician's office. Later that day, there is pain as the blisters form, make sure that the patient has adequate pain medication for when that happens.
