Treatment of warts

John L. Bezzant,M.D.

Electrodesiccation and curettage is a common form of treating warts. The machine shown here is a Birtcher Hyfrecator, and when using it to destroy warts I would recommend that the handpiece be plugged into the low outlet, and the dial set on 30 to 50 (or 3 to 5 watts in the newer machines).
