Why has my wart or verruca grown larger after I started treating it?
Your wart or verruca may appear larger after starting treatment due to irritation from the treatment itself. This can cause the skin around the wart to react, making it swell or inflame. Additionally, the treatment may stimulate the wart, leading to increased growth before it begins to shrink.
Key points:
- Treatment irritation can cause swelling.
- Skin reactions may make the wart look larger.
- Increased activity in the wart can lead to temporary growth.
- Different treatments can have varying effects on warts.
