Catch it early
The earlier you catch a wart, the greater your chances of clearing it quickly.
In its early stages, a wart resembles a tiny, flesh-colored, solid pimple.
You can treat it with an over-the-counter preparation for warts, usually made up of an acid solution such as salicylic acid, which works on smaller warts.
Try electrocautery
Electrocautery is a quick and relatively painless procedure performed under local anaesthesia and uses a heat producing electric current.
It takes about 5 minutes and causes little pain.
Freeze it
Cryosurgery is a technique where the wart is sprayed or swabbed with liquid nitrogen.
The procedure takes only a few minutes, although it may need to be repeated for deep warts.
It often causes a blister to develop, and the wart is removed with the blister roof.
You will feel moderate to sever throbbing pain afterwards which can last a few minutes to a few hours, depending on where the wart was located.
