I would like to know where you can get “blister beetle” or rather
Canthaaridin to treat warts. My son need to get rid of some plantar
warts on the bottom of his foot. I would like to get his doctor in touch
with this information. The local dermatologists here do not have access
to this. Is it considered to be a homeopathic treatment?

That’s a cool and helpful bug I say. We use cantharone in our clinic to treat wart. It will cause blister or discomfort but yeah…it will work in the long run. However, people with blister should pop their blister with sterile needle or sharp instrument…why, to avoid infection. Don’t peel the skin…let the liquid drain. Put polysporin and cover with band aid to avoid infection and change band aid everyday.

I have had a rather large wart on my hand for a long time and each time I would go to my dermatologist he would freeze it and it took like 7 times before I said enough already, and besides it didn’t look like it was doing much good. So today I had another appointment and he was ready to freeze it again for the 8th time and I told him I didn’t wanna freeze it again so he put Canthardin on it and it did blister, but he didn’t tell me any instructions like if I pop the blister or it’ll pop on it’s own…nothing. So I’m kinda on my own as far as that goes. Hope all goes well.

I’ve used the canthardin from these beetles for over 20 years to help rid people of plantar’s warts.
The chemical is super potent and super effective.
The negative thing about it is that most folks say their foot is pretty tender for a few days.

I think it’s pretty cool, but i still wouldn’t want to get blisters from it.

The dematologist I see used some of the ointment to get rid of pre-cancerous skin cells on my nose! yes, my nose did blister and swell but the effects are temporary, will heal and I’m now cancer free.

Okay, so send me some of that so I can get rid of the plantar’s wart I’ve had on the bottom of my foot for four years. That’s right. FOUR YEARS. Grrrrrr… And yes, I’ve seen three doctors about it and no one wants to surgically remove it, yet nothing they try has worked.
