Is it good to treat warts? will it effect our health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: What kind of warts are you talking about? Most warts are due to HPV infection and many will disappear on their own. Skin warts may be treated with over the counter medications or by freezing. Genital warts may be treatable with topical medication but may require excision. Warts generally do not affect a person's health, however, other strains of the same virus cause cancer of the cervix.
