What is the mechanism of action for cantharidin?

Warts And Molluscum

So canteridin comes from beetlejuice. Historically, it's been a common joke, if you will. The patients even say, well, is this the beetlejuice drug? But the mechanism is to separate the dermal epidermal junction, create a vesicle that will separate the Molescan bodies, as well as anything that's varucos, and create a turnover that will allow for lesion reduction, as well as the implosion, if you will, of the wart or the Molescan body that will create the healing of the lesion.
