Common warts can present as single or multiple lesions. Treatment selection depends on the extent of involvement and the patient's tolerability of specific procedures — both factors that shape which intervention is used and how it is structured.

Clinical Situation

This protocol addresses common warts, with specific consideration for patients carrying multiple lesions or those who cannot tolerate certain local procedures — a clinically important distinction that alters the treatment path.

Treatment Approach (Partial Overview)

The regimen centres on physical treatment of wart tissue. Cryotherapy is a core option; for patients unable to tolerate that approach, an alternative thermal modality is specified in the protocol — the full selection criteria, session structure, and decision points are contained in the complete regimen.

Treatment Goal

Complete clearance of warts at 4 weeks, with follow-up assessment for recurrence.

Cryotherapy is recommended for common warts.
Thermotherapy is suggested for patients with common warts, especially multiple warts, who cannot tolerate local injection and cryotherapy. The recommended treatment temperature is on average at 44°C over the lesion, and the treatment time lasts for 30 min. Repeated treatments are required.
The clinical criteria for cure of warts are complete clearance of lesions at 4 weeks and no recurrence for at least 6 months.
