Common warts () are the most common complaint in routine dermatological practice. Warts can be painful on pressure and are often an aesthetic problem, but they are not a major threat to the person's general health. Treatment options are symptomatic and do not eradicate the causative agent. Dermatological surgery procedures such as cryotherapy, electrocauterization and excochleation can be painful, with common recurrences. These are the most important reasons for revival of the treatment procedures and remedies based on traditional medicine. Traditional medicine is still commonly practiced as a form of self-healing. This paper presents the most commonly used wart remedies of plant, animal and mineral origin, along with various magic practices. We emphasize that this paper is written from the viewpoint of physicians, practitioners of dermatology, not as a study in the history or culture. The main objective of the study was to explore various substances and methods people use as home remedies for warts. We performed a case study survey among the general population by interviewing 147 adult participants using a simple preliminary questionnaire inquiring about preferred treatment and knowledge about common warts.
寻常疣（）是皮肤科常规门诊中最常见的就诊原因。疣在受到压力时可能会感到疼痛，并且常常是一个美学问题，但它们不会对人的整体健康构成重大威胁。治疗选择是对症治疗，不能根除病原体。皮肤科手术程序，如冷冻疗法、电灼术和切除术，可能会很痛苦，并且常复发。这些是复兴基于传统医学的治疗程序和疗法的最重要原因。传统医学仍然作为一种自我疗愈的形式被广泛应用。本文介绍了最常用的植物、动物和矿物来源的疣治疗方法，以及各种神奇的治疗方法。我们强调，本文是从皮肤科医生的角度来撰写的，而不是对历史或文化的研究。本研究的主要目的是探索人们用作疣家庭疗法的各种物质和方法。我们通过对 147 名成年参与者进行简单的初步问卷调查，以访谈的形式对普通人群进行了病例研究调查，询问他们对寻常疣的首选治疗方法和相关知识。
