abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the therapeutic effect of combined western and traditional Chinese medicines for the treatment of verruca plana.
  
  
  METHODS
  Acupoint injection of Vit. B12 was used to treat 91 patients suffering from verruca plana after unsuccessful therapy of more than 3 methods.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Complete cure, 35 cases; significantly improved, 56 patients. The total effective rate was 100%. Compared with the Vit. B12 i.m. injection group and polyinosinic cytidy lic acid i.m. injection group, the difference was highly significant (P < 0.001). The results were also proved by histologic examination.
