What Works, What Doesn’t & Where to Get Safe, Scar-Free Results
Still Struggling with Warts That Won’t Go Away? You’re Not Alone.
Warts may be small, but they can cause big frustration. Whether it’s that stubborn wart on your finger, a plantar wart on your foot, or a facial wart that’s affecting your confidence — you’re likely wondering:
“Should I try a home remedy or visit a dermatologist?”
“Are warts permanent?”
“Is laser treatment safe for wart removal?”
This guide compares trusted medical treatments vs. popular home remedies — so you can make the right decision for your skin.
What Are Warts, Really?
Warts are non-cancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are highly contagious and can spread through skin-to-skin contact or contaminated surfaces.
- Common Types of Warts:
- Common warts: Rough bumps on hands or fingers
- Plantar warts: Found on the soles of the feet, often painful
- Flat warts: Smooth and small, often on face or legs
- Filiform warts: Long, thread-like, usually on face or neck
- Genital warts: Require specialised medical attention
Important: Warts can multiply if left untreated.
What Are the Risks of Home Remedies?
You’ve probably heard of DIY wart removal options like:
- Apple cider vinegar
- Garlic paste
- Banana peels
- Duct tape
- Over-the-counter freezing kits
While these might sound natural and harmless, they often lead to:
- Skin burns
- Hyperpigmentation
- Infections
- Scarring
- Warts recurring in clusters
Real Talk: These options are not only slow but largely ineffective — especially for deep-rooted or recurring warts.

Benefits of Professional Wart Removal
✅ Complete removal of the wart root

What Happens If You Ignore or Self-Treat Warts?
Warts don’t go away easily—and in many cases, they:
- Multiply
- Get infected
- Spread to family members
- Leave behind dark spots or pits
Ignoring them means giving the virus more room to grow.
