Propolis treatment for warts explained by dermatologist in New York, NY

Warts are a common affliction that can affect both children and adults, and they are often unsightly and embarrassing. Unfortunately, warts can be difficult to treat because they are resistant to many common over-the-counter treatments or home remedies. Propolis is an over the counter (OTC) product made from honeycomb resin. It has been reported to have some positive effects on the immune system and was shown in a medical paper in the International Journal of Dermatology to be helpful for many patients with warts. Dr. Stephen L. Comite, dermatologist at SkinProvement Dermatology in New York, NY, offers more insights on the use of propolis for warts below.

What is propolis?

Propolis is an immunomodulator that has antiviral properties. It is collected by honeybees from trees, where they then take the material to their honeycombs to varnish and seal them. It has anti-inflammatory properties that make it a versatile therapy that is helpful in treating a number of conditions by expediting the healing process.

How to use propolis for warts

Since propolis is inexpensive and causes few side effects, we recommend taking one pill, 500 milligram (mg) daily for 3 months. You can purchase propolis at GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe, and similar stores. It should cost about $20.

There are a few things to keep in mind when taking propolis for warts:

You should not take propolis if you are allergic to bee stings or any bee products
As propolis comes in a variety of doses, be sure to check the label in order to purchase the 500 mg size, which is the correct dose
Propolis can be used to supplement other wart treatments that have been recommended by your dermatologist

Dr. Comite and his staff are absolutely amazing! I was recommended to him from family and when I first went to see Dr. Comite my skin was in bad shape-I had very active acne, worse than I ever experienced before in my life. After having graduated from college I didn’t expect this skin change and I didn’t know how to improve it or if it would even improve. Dr. Comite however, was extremely knowledgeable, optimistic, and truly cared about helping me get my clear skin back. My visits were always friendly and comfortable which was important to me during a time when I was feeling less than myself. After only a few sessions, Dr. Comite and his team found the correct treatment to clear up my skin. Within a month my skin showed improvement and in only two months my skin drastically improved. After being a patient of Dr. Comite’s for over four years I couldn’t be happier! My skin has continued to be clear and I know if I have any questions or concerns an answer is just a phone call to the office. I’m so thankful to have found such a dedicated doctor in the field of dermatology. Dr. Comite and his staff helped me get, and keep, the skin I knew I could have. I highly recommend him to anyone with any dermatology needs.
