Painful/painless wart treatments

John L. Bezzant,M.D.

I divide the wart treatments into the painless (don't hurt at the doctor's office) and the painful. The painless treatments are shown at the left, and the painful treatments are shown at the right. The painless treatments often require self-application of the medication by the patient to the warts, and compliance is a major problem. The painful treatments generally eradicate the wart(s) within one to three treatments, but the physician should never make any promises regarding if and when the warts will resolve.
