What is best treatment for my warts?

Skin warts on the hand/feet can be a real nuisance. These skin lesions are not life threatening but appear ugly and unsightly. All warts are caused by the human papilloma virus. The virus can cause warts either on hands or feet. In most cases, warts do disappear on their own. While they are not painful, they can itch and sometime do get nicked, scrapped and start to bleed. In most cases treatment of warts is keeping the skin clean and maintaining good hygiene- over time the majority of warts will disappear, especially if they are small.

But what if the warts does not disappear! What is the best treatment for a wart?.

There are hundreds of treatments for warts so what should a consumer use. Fact one- whenever there are many treatments for any particular disorder, it basically means that there is no ideal treatment. The internet is full of bogus treatments and should be avoided.

Besides painting the wart with salicylic acid, there is cryotherapy, and a whole bunch of newer drugs. Since many physicians charge a lot of money to paint warts with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy).

But is this therapy effective?
