Hi adrianko ! Warts are a viral infection. Some time they go on their own. But it take 2 to 4 months. Now you try to cut as their root is deep under skin. Now what to do ! Take pain killer if pain. apply betadine to protect normal skin from infection. need to see doctor for dressing. ask for antiviral tab too. For healing. Adrianko ! I know it is like hell to have warts but just keep taking medicine. In 2-3 month it will be gone. Take care.bye.
