There are countless wart remedies available today. Some of them may be availed of as over-the-counter treatments, while others may be prescribed by doctors.
Cryosurgery is a treatment that involves freezing the wart, often with the use of liquid nitrogen. Freon refrigerants are sometimes used as well, as a cheaper freezing agent. The process creates a blister that makes the dead skin and the wart fall off.
Two kinds of laser treatments may also be used to remove body warts – pulse dye lasers and carbon dioxide lasers. However, aside from the prohibitive costs and the need for multiple treatments and anesthetics, laser treatments may also be painful, and can leave scars.
Chemical wart remedies are usually available over the counter. Salicylic acid is very common, but it calls for the user to routinely clean the infected area, apply the acid and remove the dead skin using emery board or pumice. Silver nitrate may instead be applied in the form of a caustic pencil, but it may stain clothes and the skin.
A handful of other drugs have also been used before as body warts treatments, but not all of them were proven safe and they do not guarantee prevention of relapse.
Just like chemical treatments, several natural remedies have been tested to remove body warts, but their effectiveness remains unproven. This includes the application of garlic, vinegar, fruit mixes and many other solutions.
Finally, there are organic wart remedies made from antiviral plant extracts, which have been clinically tested and verified to eradicate warts when topically applied. Aside from being effective, these natural treatments are also painless and non-scarring.
