Introduction
Generally speaking, there is no such thing as the "simplest and most straightforward method to remove warts." Warts are a type of skin condition caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). Contributing factors include viral infection, weakened immune system, skin injuries,不良 habits, and indirect contact transmission. In aesthetic medicine, warts are commonly treated through methods such as chemical peeling with fruit acids, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, and photodynamic therapy.

Generally speaking, there is no such thing as the "simplest and most direct method for removing warts." Warts are a type of skin condition caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). Key factors contributing to their development include viral infection, weakened immunity, skin damage, unhealthy habits, and indirect transmission through contact. In aesthetic medicine, warts can typically be removed using treatments such as chemical peels with fruit acids, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy, electrocautery, and fractional laser therapy.

For warts caused by viral infections transmitted via direct contact, indirect contact, or sexual transmission, topical medications such as tretinoin cream or imiquimod cream may be used under medical guidance, or fractional laser treatment may be considered. For warts resulting from low immunity, improvement can be achieved by ensuring adequate sleep, maintaining a balanced diet, and consuming more protein-rich foods such as eggs, milk, and shrimp. When warts develop due to compromised skin barrier function allowing viral invasion, it's important to avoid skin injuries and promptly clean and treat any wounds. To prevent warts caused by indirect contact with personal items—such as towels or basins—used by infected individuals, avoid sharing personal items and regularly disinfect them.
