2. Cryotherapy

uses low temperature of liquid nitrogen to necrotize and exfoliate wart tissue. This is a more commonly used method, but it may cause pain, blisters, pigmentation and other adverse reactions. After treatment, it may need to be repeated many times to ensure complete removal of warts.
