There are some interesting suggestions on the self care section - but a trip to the dermatologist is the best bet.

Self Care
Since many warts go away without treatment and treatments can often fail, it is not necessary to treat most warts. Warts also often recur or appear in new areas despite treatment; therefore it is important not to use repeated, painful or scarring treatments unless the warts are interfering with daily life.

Self-care for non-genital warts is often effective:

* Salicylic, acetic and lactic acid products are available over the counter in a variety of forms and act by peeling off the wart-infected skin. They must be used daily and can sometimes be irritating.
* Hot water soaks may be added to the above treatment approaches.
* Raw garlic cloves have been demonstrated to have antiviral activity.
* Hypnosis has been used, with a better response in children.
* Prevention methods to reduce the spread of infection include avoiding shaving, biting, picking or cutting in the wart regions, hand washing after touching wart areas and using a different nail file and clipper for the infected areas.
* Over the counter freezing medications are available but usually are not effective

When to seek medical care

* Painful or bleeding warts
* Warts on the face and those interfering with daily life which do not respond to self-care

Are you sure it is a Wart ?.

Warts are pale,skin colored growths with a rough surface,even borders,and blackened surface capillaries.Normal skin lines do not cross a wart's surface,And contrary to popular opinion,wart's are very shallow growths - they don't have "roots" or "runners" that go down to the bone.
Dr.Garry has had great success applying vitamin A directly to warts.
"Get capsules that contain 25000 international units of natural vitamin A from fresh fish oil or fish-liver oil.Simply break open a capsule, squeeze some of the liquid on to the wart,and rub it in.
Apply this once a day,only to the wart do not take orally.

You have to go to a doctor who will freeze them off.
You cant buy anything over the counter for facial warts.

If available at your GP's surgery, laser is best. However, some old fashioned cures do seem to work eg.. rub the juice of a sliced radish on the warts. Another, is the rubbing of the juice of Calandine (marigold) on the warts. Mind your eyes though.

The old remedy was; Steal a piece of meat rub it on your warts, then bury the meat, as the meat rots your warts will disappear.

See a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Do not attempt to freeze at home ! The skin is very thin on your face and you could cause permanent scarring.

You need to go see a skin doctor. He will have all the different treatments for them. Especially seeing as they are on the face you don't want any or minimum scarring
