Pain-Free wart cream for kids shows promise in new study
NCT ID NCT06737406
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a cream containing two medicines (5-fluorouracil and calcipotriol) can safely and effectively treat warts on the palms and soles of children aged 4 to 18. About 60 children will receive either the active cream or a placebo for several weeks. The goal is to find a painless treatment option that avoids painful procedures like cryotherapy.
