Vitamin A cream is effective in treating flat warts, but if the number of flat warts is large, topical medication alone may not be effective, and oral medication is also needed. In addition, sun exposure and trauma may also increase the number of warts.
Vitamin A cream is commonly used in the treatment of acne vulgaris, flat warts, mucous membrane white spots, etc. It has the efficacy of regulating skin growth and is effective for flat warts. However, some people may experience adverse reactions such as erythema and flaking after using this product. It should be noted that people who are allergic to this product are prohibited.
If the number of flat warts appearing on the skin is large, the effect of using only retinoic acid cream treatment may not be good, and also need to follow the doctor’s instructions to take oral immunomodulators such as levamisole to help remove the warts. In addition, if the affected skin is exposed to sunlight, trauma, or other immune-compromising diseases during the medication period, flat warts may be triggered or aggravated.
There is no single reason why flat warts become more numerous after using retinoic acid cream, so patients are advised to consult their doctors about the matter.
