Topical Treatment Options for Extragenital Verrucae

Verrucae are benign proliferations seen in skin and mucosae due to infection with papillomaviruses. They may present differently according to clinical appearance and localization. In time, about 60% of verrucae spontaneously resolve. Since there is no single effective treatment method, a few different methods may be combined or sequentially applied. Local treatment methods of verrucae will be discussed in this paper.
