Learn More about Flat Warts  Traditional treatments for warts Flat wart treatmentsTraditional medical treatments include: 40% Salicylic Acid, Nitric Acid, etc. Warts can be treated with salicylic or nitric acid solution but you must apply the acid every day for many weeks. Extreme burning, scarring and enlargement of wart tissue are common. This is a common method used, and there are many over the counter products available that contain these acids. Unfortunately, they are only about 30% effective in wart treatment. Cryosurgery or Freezing with Nitrogen Warts may be frozen with liquid nitrogen but will require several visits to the doctor's office. Liquid nitrogen is applied directly to the wart in order to freeze the growth and destroy the infected tissue. This procedure is very painful and in some cases requires an injection of Lidocaine to numb the area before the freezing procedure can begin. The numbing treatment sometime hurts as much as the freezing (especially in plantar warts). There is generally scarring with this procedure. Electro-cauterization A heated electric wire is applied to the growth and destroys the wart. I don’t even need to discuss how much this hurts. Canthardin Treatments Your doctor may use cantharidin on your warts. With this treatment, the doctor "paints" the chemical onto the wart. Most people don't feel any immediate pain after the chemical is applied to the wart. You'll experience severe pain and blistering of the wart in about 3 to 8 hours. After treatment with cantharidin, a bandage or tape is put over the wart. The bandage can be removed after 24 hours. When mixtures of cantharidin and other chemicals are used, the bandage is removed after 2 hours. When you see your doctor again, he or she will remove the dead skin of the wart. If the wart isn't gone after one treatment, your doctor may give you another treatment. This method is extremely painful and uncomfortable with a varying success rate. Flat wart removalSurgical Excision First the flat wart is injected with Lidocaine to numb it. This procedure alone is very painful. Then the wart is removed by cutting out the infected area, usually leaving a scar. Laser Surgery Warts can be removed through laser surgery, but this treatment may leave a scar and can be very painful. A stream of laser light is directed at the infected site to destroy the wart. It may not destroy the viral root and the wart may return. Learn More about Flat Warts
