Brief Summary  

Various studies have failed to reach at an ideal treatment modality which can be used for treatment of palmo-plantar warts which are resistant to standard treatment.

 

Both bleomycin and immunotherapy, individually, have shown promising results in the management of these warts. But the studies have mostly been open label uncontrolled studies not targeting specifically the resistant palmoplantar warts.

 

Indian data regarding the efficacy of both bleomycin and immunotherapy is limited. Moreover, no head to head study to compare their efficacy has been done.

 

Is bleomycin effective in clearing untreated warts as there have been reports of distant warts getting cleared after intralesional bleomycin therapy, but no study evaluating this parameter has been performed.
