How do I get rid of a hand wart?

Answer by  kimmc (91)

Warts are caused by a virus, you can treat them but until they are ready to leave for good you have minimal options. OTC treatments like strips and ointment can sometimes work. Your doctor can "burn" them off using liquid nitrogen, it is moderately uncomfortable but usually more successful.

Warts normally go away on their own but you can use duct tape or you can put a wart remover on it from the store. Put a penny on it or cut it off . It is said that you can "think it away" or you can go and have it burned off by a dr.

You should see a dermatologist doctor who will use liquid nitrogen spray to freeze off the wart. It may take multiple treatments though.

You can buy an over the counter treatment for warts that you just brush on. If you want the wart gone quicker, your doctor can freeze or burn it off. The medication is just brushed on the wart at least once a day but it will take several days for the wart to go away.

The best and easiest way to get rid of it is to use liquid nitrogen. You can get liquid nitrogen packs for warts at your local drug store or Wal-Mart.
