Warts are small, raised growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They can occur on any part of the body and can be painful, itchy, or embarrassing, depending on their location.

​

There are several treatments available for warts, including:

Over-the-counter topical treatments: Over-the-counter treatments, such as salicylic acid, can be applied to the wart to help remove it over time.

Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen, causing it to eventually fall off.

Surgical removal: In some cases, a doctor may perform a minor surgical procedure to remove the wart.

Electrosurgery: This is a procedure in which a doctor uses an electric current to destroy the wart.

Laser therapy: This is a procedure in which a doctor uses a laser to destroy the wart.

Consult with a doctor or dermatologist to determine the best treatment plan for your individual needs and to minimize the risk of side effects or complications.

​

Avoid picking or scratching at the wart, as this can cause it to spread to other parts of the body.
