Several options: Warts, which are caused by a form of the hpv virus, can be a difficult and frustrating problem. You can try an over-the-counter wart remover (e.g.: compound w or duofilm). If this doesn't work see a dermatologist. They could be frozen with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy), treated with a strong acid, or removed surgically. There are also injectable medications that can be used in stubborn cases.

Warts: Each night before going to bed soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar, apply it to the wart and then hold it in place with a band-aid. Leave it on all night, or if you like, 24 hours a day but change the soaked cotton and band-aid each evening for a week. The wart will swell and may throb as it reacts with the vinegar and then start to turn black within the first two days and in two weeks gone.
