Wart Treatment Options
Oct 26, 2025
So, you’ve figured out that you or maybe your child has a wart. What can you do to treat it?
It’s important to first understand that the ugly appearance of wart is the result of the way it is growing under the skin. The lumpy, bumpy, crusty appearance results from the effect the human papilloma virus, which causes warts, affecting the cells that make up our skin. So we really need options that will destroy the wart while minimizing any damage to the surrounding healthy skin.
You can visit your doctor’s office where they will have three choices: freezing it, burning it off, or chemically treating it.
Over 3 million visits a year are made to doctors’ offices just to treat warts. The option of burning it off smells like it sounds. It’s painful and creates a wound that will require time to heal.
Using chemicals is a possibility but these require a lot of applications over weeks or months, and most people don’t stick with it until the wart resolves.
Freezing a good option, it may take as little as one treatment and it destroys the wart and allows the wart falls over time naturally.
You also have the choice of freezing a wart at home.
