The remedies indicated to remove the wart must be specific to the region where it is located and, in most cases, act through a keratolytic action, slowly promoting the peeling of the skin.
Most of these products can be easily purchased at pharmacies, without the need for a prescription, but they should be used according to the dermatologist's guidance, with caution, since most of them can injure the skin that is in around the wart.
1. Genital wart
Genital warts are those in which care should be taken when applying and choosing the product, because they are located in a more delicate region.
A remedy that can be indicated by the dermatologist to treat genital warts is Wartec, which is an antiviral cream, of local application, whose active substance is podophyllotoxin. See how to use Wartec.

Some of the remedies that are indicated for common and flat warts are Curitybina, with salicylic acid in the composition, or Verrux and Duofilm, with salicylic acid and lactic acid in the composition or Duofilm, which have a keratolytic effect, leading to skin peeling and reducing the thickness of the wart. These products can be found in liquid or gel form and must be used in accordance with local medical advice. Learn more about Duofilm.
There is also a product with liquid nitrogen, Points, which acts by freezing the center of the wart, eliminating it quickly and effectively.
Common warts are usually skin-colored, firm and have a rough surface, which may be rounded or irregular, while flat warts appear more frequently on the face and are small, flat and smooth in appearance. Find out what the main types of warts are.
3. Plantar wart
Generally, the products indicated to treat the common and flat wart can also be used on the plantar wart. However, there are gel products specifically indicated for plantar wart, which have a greater amount of salicylic acid in the composition, as is the case with plantar Duofilm, for example.
In addition, a drug called Blauferon B can also be used, which is usually administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously, and which inhibits viral replication in cells infected by viruses and suppression of cell proliferation.
The plantar wart, also known as fisheye, usually appears on the feet and has a yellowish appearance with black dots on the inside. Find out more about plantar wart treatment.
4. Filiform wart
Filiform warts can be removed with a scalpel, scissors, curettage or by cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen, as is the case with Pointts, which acts by freezing the center of the wart, eliminating it quickly and effectively.
Care must be taken when treating sensitive areas, such as the face, because treatment with liquid nitrogen can alter the color of the skin.
