I have one that wouldn’t go away for the longest time tried duct tape and cryotherapy and the thing that did it in was coming both.

Cantharidin is another way that works for many, where some blistering liquid (originally from a blister beetle, but I think its synthetic now) is put on the wart, causing HUGE blisters that take off many layers of skin at once, and often the wart with it. But it really sucks that first few days.

Interesting. Never heard about this. Did an MD do this treatment? If yes, in which country?

I had one that wouldn't go away, and I slowly ramped up the freezing time to be a fair bit longer than what the instructions said, eventually it worked

I think the problem with cryo is it’s so painful that doctors dont do it long enough to be effective. But it also does a ton of damage to the surrounding tissue so overall it’s just a terrible treatment.
