Flat warts can be eliminated through physical therapy, topical medications, and surgical excision. All treatments are not guaranteed to get rid of the root cause, and may recur when the immune system drops.
Physical therapy: Physical therapy includes freezing, laser and so on. Freezing treatment is to use a cotton swab dipped in liquid nitrogen, using the low temperature produced by liquid nitrogen to make the skin lesions necrotic and shedding. The actual laser is a pulsed dye laser, which makes the warts necrotic through the high temperature, and also the warts come off.
Topical medication: Flat warts can be treated with external medication under the direction of a doctor, including imiquimod cream, retinoic acid cream, recombinant human interferon α2b gel, and so on.
Surgical removal: For a single large wart, it can also be surgically removed.
