About Podowart Paint

Podowart Paint is a combination medicine used to treat warts. Warts are small, fleshy bumps on the skin or mucous membrane. It is a type of skin infection caused by Human papillomavirus (HPV). Warts are contagious; they can spread from person to person.

Podowart Paint contains Podophyllum Resin, Benzoin, Aloes, Ethanol, Methanol and Isopropyl Alcohol. Podowart Paint works by destroying the tissue growth and leading to tissue death.
