Treatment: For warts on the fingers, the quickest treatment is to have them frozen with liquid nitrogen. Dermatologists and some family doctors an internists perform this procedure.

Wart: Do not bite or pick at them. Get a physician to treat them. You can use freezing, burning, medications like aldara, (imiquimod) or surgery.
