I have an 8 month old and it looks like he has a small wart on his hand can babies as young this get warts how i treat it?

It's possible for babies as young as your son to get warts, although they are more common in older children and adults. Warts are caused by a virus that enters the skin through small cuts or breaks.

Here are some tips for treating warts in babies:

* Do not try to remove the wart yourself. This could spread the virus and make the warts worse.

* See your doctor. Your doctor can diagnose the wart and recommend the best treatment.

* Treatment options may include:

* Over-the-counter wart treatments. These treatments are available at most drugstores. They usually contain salicylic acid, which helps to remove the wart.

* Prescription medications. Your doctor may prescribe a stronger medication if the over-the-counter treatments don't work.

* Surgery. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the wart.

Here are some tips for preventing warts:

* Wash your hands frequently. This will help to remove any viruses that may be on your hands.

* Avoid touching warts. If you touch a wart, wash your hands immediately.

* Do not share towels, washcloths, or other items that have been used by someone with warts.

* Cover any cuts or breaks in the skin. This will help to prevent the virus from entering the skin.

If you have any questions about warts, talk to your doctor.
