> Usual order of treatments is topical salicyclic acid +/- occlusion with tape -> cryotherapy / topical imiquimod -> curettage / CO2 laser / pulsed dye laser / DCP immunotherapy Salicylic acid seems to be the standard of care here, so I'm curious why tape was compared to cryo in this old study. Was that not true at the time? I used to be a big swimmer and due to some carelessness with footwear in the gym shower I ended up with a wart on the bottom of my foot some years ago. I tried acid alone, which seemed to be working (albeit slowly), so I added duct tape over top which seemed to speed things up a bit. I didn't expect the tape was "doing" anything beyond keeping everything in place and then ensuring that I was exfoliating fully between applications, but who knows?
