We don't cure warts: They are viruses, but there are many treatments available to clear the clinical lesions. From topicals like salacid plaster, to liquid nitrogen, cautery, lasers , candidal antigen, bleomycin injections. We never know what each wart responds best to. See a derm for treatment especially if they are spreading

Verruca: Most warts are caused by the Verruca virus. Many topical preparations can be used, most over the counter. Cryosurgery with freezing liquid nitrogen can help and surgery is always available as well.

Warts: Hi. Warts are caused by a virus and depending on their location (hands) may determine your treatment options. If there are multiple ones - it is best to be seen by your PCP or a Dermatologist to talk about your best options. Options could include liquid nitrogen, cryotherapy or even salicyclic acid treatments. Hope this helps!

Wart treatments: Warts are often treated with cryotherapy( freezing ) or topical medications. A dermatologist can advise you on the appropriate treatment. A home remedy is the application of duct tape, 6 days on, one day of for several cycles.

There are many: To start of, often given enough time wars will spontaneously resolve. But for many thats not fast enough. There are many nonprescription treatments like garlic extract, application of duct tape, serial warm water soaks, and more commonly used "Compound W". Otherwise, seek the input of a dermatologist for possible cyrotherapy(cold therapy) or other prescription treatments. Best of luck.
