General [General]
These excrescences frequently appear around the lips and eyes, and vary in form and size, and are often caused by external means, as by the bit, &c., but they mostly depend on an internal cause, they are either hard and dry, or soft, spongy, more or less painful, crusty, moist and often ulcerate; at times they appear in clusters, having the appearance of grapes, others spread out at the top and bleed easily.
REMEDIES: Thuja occidentalis, Arsenicum, Calcarea carbonica and Causticum.
Thuja occidentalis [Thuj]
Thuja occidentalis is the principal remedy in this disease and may be used both internally and externally if the warts are large, rough, moist and ulcerated.

Arsenicum, if there is ulceration, or small ulcers form around the bottom of the warts with everted edges.
Dose. Six drops twice a day, at the same time apply a solution externally with a camel’s-hair brush twice a day.
Calcarea carbonica [Calc]
Calcarea carbonica, if they are small and numerous, especially if they appear in clusters on the lower lips.
