Hello doctor,

I have a small wart near my breast that has been there since childhood and has grown over time. Could you please suggest some medicines to help remove it? I have attached a picture of the wart.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have seen all the images (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity).

The possibility of it being a wart is very low because warts usually do not persist for such a long time. It is more likely a hair follicle tumor, such as a fibrofolliculoma, but this can only be confirmed through a physical examination. There is no medication for warts or tumors. The treatments of choice are electrofulguration and surgical excision.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
