Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query in HealthcareMagic,
The warts located on the neck and other parts of the body are caused by a particular virus. It is not of any harm. For some, it just resolves on its own over time. But if cosmetic reason is a concern to you, I would suggest you to do the following:
- apply Salicylic acid 6% only over the warts and not on the normal skin surrounding it. This may take some time to go off.
- For immediate results, you can consider electrocautry or cryotherapy, wherein the doctor may cauterise the warts or may freeze them respectively.
- As an home remedy, I would suggest apply a paste of garlic over the warts and keeping it bandaged all night and wash off the next day.
I hope I have answered to your query,
