Do not use Thuja as a substitute for proper diagnosis of a wart.

Warts are caused by certain types of human papillomavirus, but skin cancers, corns, calluses, seborrhoeic keratoses and other lesions may sometimes look similar.

Seek professional assessment when the diagnosis is uncertain or when a growth is painful, bleeding, changing, spreading rapidly or located on the face or genital area.

Do not apply Thuja to genital warts or inside the vagina.

Genital growths require examination, appropriate sexual-health advice and consideration of other sexually transmitted infections.

Do not use topical Thuja as a substitute for proven wart treatments such as salicylic acid, cryotherapy or another treatment recommended by a doctor or pharmacist.

Do not apply Thuja to an uncertain fungal rash.

Ringworm, dermatitis, psoriasis, bacterial infections and other skin conditions may look similar and require different treatment.

A confirmed fungal skin infection generally requires appropriate antifungal treatment and measures to prevent transmission.

Seek medical advice for a rash that is spreading, painful, weeping, affecting the scalp, nails, face or genital area, or not improving with appropriate treatment.

Do not use Thuja as a substitute for antibiotics, inhalers or prescribed respiratory treatment.

Abnormal vaginal bleeding, bleeding after intercourse, persistent pelvic pain, unusual discharge or postmenopausal bleeding requires professional assessment.
