Condition analysis: Barley cannot treat flat warts

Opinions and suggestions: This disease is caused by human papilloma virus infection, and is a viral infectious disease that commonly occurs in teenagers. The clinical manifestations are skin-colored or pink flat papules, mostly seen on the face and back of hands. There are no obvious subjective symptoms and the course of the disease is chronic. It can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact. Barley is sweet, light and slightly cold in nature. It has the functions of strengthening the spleen, diluting dampness, clearing away heat and draining pus. Used for spleen deficiency, diarrhea, edema, athlete's foot, leucorrhea, dampness, joint pain, intestinal carbuncle, pulmonary impotence and other symptoms! Barley cannot treat flat warts, but folk remedies record that washing barley with water is effective, but the clinical effect is unclear!
