VITAMIN D injections could offer a new way to eradicate warts, with around 60 patients at the Mayo Clinic in the U.S. taking part in a new trial of the treatment.
Warts and verrucas are caused by strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Although they usually disappear spontaneously, this process can take several months, or sometimes even years, and many patients seek treatment because of their appearance.
It’s thought that vitamin D, which will be injected directly into the wart, will boost the immune system response in the area to kill off the wart.
