Salicylic Acid – A medicated solution that gradually dissolves the wart over time.

Cantharidin – A chemical that causes a blister to form under the wart, lifting it off the skin.

Electrosurgery & Curettage – Burning the wart with an electric current and scraping it off.

Laser Therapy – Using laser heat to destroy wart tissue.

Immunotherapy – Stimulating the immune system to attack the wart (e.g., using imiquimod or injecting antigens).

Excision – Surgically cutting out the wart, usually for stubborn or deep warts.
