I wonder if resveratrol might help those with herpes breakouts. If anyone has that, be sure to report back if they tried it. ;)

I tried RSV mixed with DMSO and it did seem to slow the HSV down a bit, though not much. But I got started late, and applying something to your body 6-8 times a day for days on end doesn't work all that well...hence the possible usefulness of a patch.

Maxwatt developed a recipe for a homebrew patch.

Thanks! I read that post without actually realizing that Maxwatt was talking about the equivalent of a patch. How close is that to, say, a nicotine patch? How long could a device like that be expected to keep delivering RSV into the area?

I changed the bandage, reapplying the resdvertrol skin cream, on a daily basis.

I just noticed that there are more warts on the pads of her feet.
I didn't notice them before today and I did look before. I am putting resveratrol in DMSO
on them. Will report what happens. Also mixed Resveratrol with yogurt and put that
on the old locations too. Those continue to get better.

I sent pictures of Minni's paws to Tomnook who in turn showed them to his awesome vet in Great Britain who has kindly advised me before on pet health issues through Tomnook. I am very appreciative. Let me add that the pictures make her paws looked inflamed, but they really aren't, although the vet thought they were.
I had just washed them prior to the pictures being taken and they look red and damp, but they aren't swollen or that red or damp.
However, it's not viral papilloma. It is bacterial infection that I am going to treat with Cephalexin. She has a tendency to
get bacterial skin rashes. The resveratrol still helped, but I think she needs an antibiotic specific to skin infections
and cephalexin is good for that. The vets response:

They look like a deep pyoderma and you are seeing quite deep seated infectious/inflammatory response, stemming from the deeper skin layers. No matter what the initiating cause, you get accumulations of pus/ inflammatory cells causing almost mini abscess and granulomas which erupt and I have seen then coming out " above" - ie between the toes and also below between the pads.
The holes you can see - singularly or indeed together often contain tiny hairs and some times you can squeeze and a hair will pop out if there is pus around it. In other cases there is more of a solid kind of granuloma response.
So essentially its a reaction either to bacterial infection of the hair follicles / skin or possible a foreign body type reaction to the hair shafts in each follicle and you may be seeing the multiple holes as multiple distorted and enlarge hair follicle entrances.
Trouble is also it looks very swollen esp below. And perhaps a bit moist(?) and so prime time for a good fungal athletes foot type infection. I have one dog currently - rhodesian ridge back with similar and he has been through the whole swollen, distorted pads and bubbling "cysts" which these kind of are - we looked for foreign bodies - in his case found hairs, some plant material and actually part of a tick! Anyway despite that he still rumbled on and had antibiotics which half helped, then eventually 3 weeks of sporonox antifungal tabs and the lady now puts on " lamisil once" antifungal cream now and again! I think she dries feet well after exercise, tends to go on soft ground and if need be uses those leather kind of boots for hard or uneven ground. Sorted!
Back to am bull, I would think you need to rule out bactrial infection, inflamation - non steroidals before steroids. Guess the reservatrol may help here?? But consider the poss of a foreign body type reaction also and perhaps lastly go for antifungals.
I would give this dog a couple of weeks cephalexins and keep if all clean and dry. It can take a long time for the pads to be less swollen and of course if they are, the dogs the "sides" of the pads to walk on which keeps everything going in a cycle. I think going for exploring and biopsy would prob be too invasive and there are too many lesions to know where to start. ( the lady with the ridge back had her dog's paw mri scanned to look for a foreign body).
