This condition, caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV), affects millions of people annually and can manifest in different parts of the body, mainly on hands and feet. Current treatment methods combine various therapeutic techniques, achieving success rates ranging from 60% to 90%, depending on the chosen intervention type and individual patient response. The choice of most appropriate treatment considers factors such as wart location, duration, number of lesions, and history of previous treatments.
