Depending on size: They can be cut out. A panacos graft procedure is an option. Effudex cream is an option. There are different laser types...A pulse dye works very well for warts.

Implant: When all else fails I have had good success with surgically excising the wart tissue and implanting a small amount into a muscle of the foot, thereby creating an autoimmune reaction and your body fights off the wart. Sounds crazy but it often works.
