title: Treatment of naevi and warts by topical chemotherapy with Solcoderm.
abstract: Solcoderm is a new liquid caustic preparation which is particularly indicated for the topical treatment of small cutaneous tumors. The liquid is easy and safe to handle. Among its advantages: local anaesthesia is not required and histological evaluation of treated skin tumors is possible. We have treated 33 naevocytic naevi (13 patients) and 214 viral warts (32 patients) by repeated superficial application of the new agent. Recurrences were observed in 3 patients. 2 of them had multiple skin warts, suggesting a selective immune deficiency rather than incomplete treatment as the prime responsible factor.
