Pinto Bean Pressure Wraps: A Novel Approach to Treating Digital Warts

Cutis. 2024 Nov;114(5):169-170. doi: 10.12788/cutis.1121.

Abstract

Identifying an optimal treatment method for verruca vulgaris can be a frustrating challenge for clinicians. We describe the use of a pinto bean pressure wrap to induce ischemic change in digital warts. This novel technique provides a low-cost, low-risk, and nearly pain-free home-based treatment option with response rates similar to those of other commonly employed methods.
