There are over 70 different kinds of warts and strains of the wart-causing virus HPV or Human Papillomavirus. Warts are quite common and can affect any part of your body. They are spread through contact. If you touch a wart on your body and then touch another person or another piece of your body, you are transferring the virus.

Warts can easily be removed. Physicians can freeze the wart with use of cryotherapy. This uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the affected area and skin. Scarring and infection risk is minimal. For at home remedies, over the counter medications like “Compound W” use salicylic acid to kill the wart.
