- There is great concern expressed in my mail about the treatment of
- genital (or venereal warts). Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
- (FDA) announced the approval of alpha-interferon to treat this sexually
- transmitted viral infection that affects approximately 8 million Americans
- every year. Alpha-interferon is used in conjunction with surgical procedures
- that remove the wart, and can prevent recurrence by destroying any warts not
- visible at time of surgery.
-
- The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery is offering an information sheet
- about this development. Its easy to obtain, by calling their toll free
- information number 1-800-441-ASDS. The line is manned Monday through Friday
- between the hours of 9 AM and 5 PM Central time.
-
- Additional information sheets of great interest are also available for the
- asking. They include: dermatologic surgery, antiaging techniques, acne scar,
- skin cancer and balding treatments. There is something here for everyone!
