A year ago, I had 3 burnouts. athlete's eyes (looks like an imprint with black roots). After the surgery, I used the medicine for warts, etc., but from the time I got pregnant. I stopped taking this medicine because the leaflet clearly stated that this medicine should not be used during pregnancy. At the moment I am 9 months pregnant and I am very bothered by the newly formed eyes in the same places. I have the impression that they have not healed at all, and even worse, they have even grown. I am very ashamed to show my feet, and there is also the discomfort of walking. Could you recommend a drug that can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding? Is there a chance that someday I will get rid of all those "stitches"?

The changes you describe are most likely viral warts. Medicines used in their therapy are not recommended during pregnancy and lactation. However, they can be removed by the surgical method - curette or frozen with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy). The decision to choose a method is made by the doctor after a dermatological examination.
