Abstract
We have used a new technique of bleomycin injection to treat intractable palmar, plantar and periungual warts. Following local anaesthesia with topical EMLA (lignocaine and prilocaine) cream, 1 mg/ml bleomycin solution was dropped on to the wart and 'pricked' into the wart using a Monolet needle. We achieved 92% success rate which compares well with other authors whose success rates with intralesional bleomycin vary between 33 and 92%. We conclude that this technique of intralesional bleomycin therapy is an effective, safe and generally well tolerated treatment for recalcitrant warts.Keywords
