OTC salicylic acid,if nothing should go for liquid nitrogen freeg

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concern.

Usually, warts do not require any treatment.
If you are still concerned, then can use OTC salicylic acid to remove warts.

If no success, then should consult with dermatologist as more specific treatment willve needed, including:
- freezing with liquid nitrogen
- burning with laser

or any other treatment your doctor will decide after evaluating your case closely.

Hope it helped.

Brief Answer:
Over the counter warts products are not always successful

Detailed Answer:
Hi back my dear,

Over the counter warts products contain salicylic acid. They tend to dissolve the affected skin and getting it clear.
Unfortunately, they sometimes are not successful. That's why a more specific treatment by dermatologist is required.

If nothing would happen in the following week, then should consult with dermatologist for laser or nitrogen freezing therapy.

All the best.
