What is the best way of getting rid of warts ?

liquid nitrogen at the dermatologist office

Why is liquid nitrogen most effective? Is it an almost 100% success rate and does the wart drops off quickly?

Hi,

'One review of 52 clinical trials of various cutaneous wart treatments concluded that topical treatments containing salicylic acid were the best supported, with an average cure rate of 75% observed with salicylic acid compared with 48% for placebo in six placebo-controlled trials including a total of 376 participants.The reviewers also concluded that there was little evidence of a significant benefit of Cryotherapy over placebo or no treatment.'
