    Author: Abernethy H, Cho C, DeLanoy A, Khan O, Kerns JW, Knight K, Diehr S.
    Journal: J Fam Pract; 2006 Sep; 55(9):801-2. PubMed ID: 16948965.
    Abstract:
    Cryotherapy has similar cure rates to topical salicylate (a pharmacologic therapy) for nongenital common warts (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, based on systemic review of variable quality randomized trials). Duct tape may be equivalent to cryotherapy (SOR: B, based on a single randomized trial). CO2 laser, photodynamic therapy, pulsed dye laser (PDL), and Er:Yag laser therapies may also be effective for recalcitrant warts (SOR: C, based on observational cohort studies).
