Will toothpaste get rid of warts?

Not really...: Warts are viral (human papillomavirus or hpv). While toothpaste might hide or make it feel differently temporarily, it won't treat the condition. Talk to your pcp about salicylic acid or cryotherapy ;-).

No: It's viral, you need antiviral tx, talk to your doctor.

No: Toothpaste has no acidity - which i believe the wart removal products use to get rid of warts.

Misconception: That will not work. Pursue other remedies.
