Are antibiotics effective on warts?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Warts are caused by a viral infection that occurs in the skin cells; and antibiotics only address bacterial infections. Hence, antibiotics have no chance of affecting warts.

No: Hi you use a combination treatment with Aspirin cream with corn caps and sometimes this works in removing the warts.
