There are a number of ways to get rid of a wart. liquids tha have higher cocentrations of A.S.A. (acetylsalicylic acid), which requires regular, repeated application. Any drugstore has them. Liquid nitrogen will freeze it off. A dermatologist has it. or cans of compressed carbon dioxide which causes freezing when sprayed for a few seconds. (Gases going from liquid to vapor take a lot of heat away and can freeze the skin surface). A dermatologist can use electricity to burn it off. It's called electrocautery.
Or, (if it's not in a place that shows, leave it alone). the body eventually recognizes that the wart is foreign and destroys it,. This spontaneous removal takes about 2 years to happen.
Many warts are caused by human papiloma virus.

The two most popular "over the counter" methods are
by salicylic acid and freezing...
I burned a small wart off my hand with a magnifying glass
when I was a kid....Put an ice cube on it and then burned , then
more ice and then burn...not as bad as it sounds but I would just
go to the drugstore now...

There is an over-the-counter wart remover that freezes them off. It works.

duct tape, cut out a small piece and put it on the wart. Leave it on all the time and it will go away in about a week. it worked for me even though the commercial wart remover didn't.

My mum swaers that licking them first thing in the morning before you brush your teeth gets rid of warts. Never had em myself. But she says it got rid of hers

You can buy products over the counter that will "freeze" off a wart.
