Hi, I am new here but as soon as I saw your post I had to reply.

My 19 month of boy has warts. They seem to last 6-9 months and then they go red and look like a huge pimple and start to "die"

If you put a peice of banana skin on the wart and cover it with a bandaid that will get rid of it.

I have asked many docotrs about getting rid of them as Zach was covered in them at one stage. They can't use anything because of all the chemicals involved so you have to wait if you want to remove them with something from a chemist.

Zach gets really dry skin around his warts and I have brough this cream that is just great. It is called Alpha Kerri and there is a bath wash and moisteriser. I am in Australia and not sure if you are here or not so I don't know if you can get it.

It works with the dry skin.

Well I have probably babbled on long enough.

Apple cider vinegar will get rid of them. My 11 year old had them and I would soak a cotton ball with the vinegar and then put a bandade on top before bed. It take a few doses but they do go away. Good Luck

My son had warts on his back when was in his first year. Luckily it went away on its own because compound w seems too harsh for a childs sensative skin. Though, if I recall correctly compound w is what his doctor recommended. Good luck:)
