Wart Removal Techniques

Warts are caused by a virus and can be contagious. Not all warts are candidates for home treatment, and it's recommended to seek medical treatment for warts on the face or genitals, for warts that burn, itch, or bleed, and for warts that you suspect might be some other type of growth. Over-the-counter wart removers with salicylic acid are effective, and duct tape may also work. Other home remedies are not proven to be effective.
