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.'

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