What is the treatment for common warts?

The main treatment methods for common warts include: 1. Physical therapy: such as laser therapy, which uses a high-intensity light beam generated by a laser device to destroy virus-infected cells and cause the wart to fall off. Recovery usually occurs within one week after treatment, without leaving scars. Another commonly used method is liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, which freezes the wart tissue, causing it to necrotize and detach. 2. Surgical treatment: for patients with more severe conditions, surgical excision may be performed. However, there is a risk of recurrence after surgery, and scarring may occur. 3. Medication therapy: including topical medications and systemic treatments. Topical agents include 5% fluorouracil ointment, while systemic treatment mainly involves taking traditional Chinese medicine, such as formulas that clear heat, detoxify, soften hardness, and resolve nodules. 4. General management: suitable for patients in the early stage with mild symptoms, involving dietary adjustments to enhance immunity and promote skin health. There are various treatment options for common warts. Patients should choose an appropriate method based on their individual condition and medical advice.
