ABSTRACT:
A method of treating a patient having one or more warts includes the steps of: applying to the wart an amount of a composition consisting essentially of an anthralin active ingredient and a pharmaceutical carrier; covering the wart and skin areas peripheral to the wart with an adhesive tape, such that the adhesive tape adheres to peripheral skin areas, whereby the adhesive tape provides an occluding environment for the wart treated with the composition. The occluding environment is maintained for a desired period of time, and the adhesive tape is removed. For a number of times as desired, a fresh amount of anthralin-containing composition is applied, and a fresh piece of adhesive tape is applied to recreate the occluding environment.
