Successful treatment of recalcitrant plantar warts by carbon dioxide laser with a computerized scanner. Br J Dermatol. 2019 Sep 23;: Authors: Kagoyama K, Makino T, Shimizu T Abstract Warts are benign neoplasms of the skin and mucosa caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.1 The most common treatments for wart are topical application of salicylic acid and cryotherapy. Other modalities include chemical agents, contact sensitizing agents and surgical excision.2 Laser modalities, including carbon dioxide (CO2 ), pulsed dye and neodymium-doped: yttrium-aluminum-garnet lasers, have also been used to treat recalcitrant plantar warts.
