Medical Treatments for Warts
When home treatment does not work, a doctor or dermatologist may recommend another treatment.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy involves freezing the wart, usually with liquid nitrogen.
The freezing damages the wart tissue, and the treated area eventually heals.
Several treatment sessions may sometimes be required.
Prescription Treatments
Depending on the type and location of the wart, a healthcare professional may recommend prescription medications or other procedures.
Treatment choice depends on factors such as the person’s age, the location of the wart, the number of warts, and how long they have been present.
Surgical or Laser Treatment
In difficult cases, doctors may use procedures such as surgical removal or laser treatment.
These options are generally considered when other treatments have failed or when the wart is particularly persistent.
