Radiofrequency ablation

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Warts need to be removed by using radiofrequency ablation.
It is an Opd procedures and can be easily done by a dermatologist.
It can also be treated using topical medications.
I usually prescribe ointment tretinoin and have seen good response in my patients.
You too can try it.
Cutting it might reduce the lesion but cannot cure it.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
