Filiform Warts of 2 Years' Duration in a Child Treated by Homoeopathy

Filiform warts appear as thin, long threadlike projections on the skin, giving them a distinctive appearance.[1] The face is usually affected, particularly near the eyelids and lips. In school-age children, the prevalence is approximately 10 to 20%.[2] Conventionally, cryotherapy, retinoic acid, podophyllin, topical 5-fluorouracil, interferon, and imiquimod are the treatment of choice. However, these modalities are painful, invasive, and less effective as there is a high chance of recurrence.[3] In this context, homoeopathy may constitute a gentle and noninvasive way to treat warts.
