Various: Warts are viruses and, although dermatologists use various treatments on them, such as liquid nitrogen, salicylic acid, canthacur, etc., there is no guarantee that the virus will respond to any destructive method. There is a prescription anti-viral cream that is usually effective called imiquimod, but it is expensive.

Wart: Warts eventually resolve without therapy, so if they are asymptomatic and the individual is not immunocompromised, they do not necessarily need treatment. Salicylic ointment application or cryotherapy are the commonest form of treatment that are used. http://patient.info/doctor/viral-warts-excluding-verrucae
