Question: Is there a “best” home remedy for warts?
Answer: For warts – salicylic acid and/or OTC cryo-sprays can help, but require patience and precision. For skin tags , the safest and best approach is an in-office procedure .
Question:Â Is the removal painful?
Answer: Most methods are short and tolerable; local anesthesia is applied if necessary .
Question:Â Are there any scars?
Answer: Usually – minimal or none, especially with radiofrequency and laser techniques. It depends on skin type , location and aftercare .
Question:Â Will they come back?
Answer:Â They can, especially with warts (HPV) and with continued friction/metabolic factors. Preventive measures reduce the risk.
