If you're referring to brown warts, here's how to treat them.
For common warts, over - the - counter topical medications can be used. Salicylic acid - based products are a good choice. Apply the ointment to the wart regularly as per the instructions, usually once or twice a day. This helps to gradually break down the wart tissue.
Cryotherapy is also an option. Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze the wart. The extreme cold causes the wart tissue to die and eventually fall off. This is usually done in a doctor's office.
If the warts are caused by a virus like human papillomavirus (HPV), and are widespread or stubborn, laser treatment or surgical removal might be considered. However, these methods carry more risks and potential for scarring, so it's important to consult a doctor to decide the most appropriate treatment.
