Introduction
Warts and their subforms such as Dell’s warts are generally treated by local application with ointments or tinctures, surgical removal or cold therapy (cryotherapy). In homeopathy, warts are also treated from the inside through the administration of drops or tablets. The treatment of warts can be difficult and lengthy. In other cases, however, warts suddenly come and go without any therapy.
