Verruca Vulgaris of the tongue

(or simply – a wart on the tongue)

Viral warts, also known as Verruca Vulgaris, are caused by the papova group of viruses. Such warts are commonly seen on the skin but occasionally may appear in the oral cavity. The incubation period of such warts varies from 6 weeks to a year. These warts spread by autoinoculation. A majority of mucosal warts are seen in those who also have warts on their hands or any other body part. The virus may be transported to the lips and tongue through contact.

Here is a case of homoeopathic cure I witnessed a few years back in my clinic without any surgical excision. The patient hasn’t complained of any recurrence thereafter.
