“Warts are incredibly frustrating, and one of the most common ways that we treat them is liquid nitrogen. This stuff is almost 400° F below zero. When we freeze the wart, the water freezes inside those cells. And the slow thaw is what's actually going to damage the cells and then allow the body to slough off a lot of that dead skin and hopefully generate an immune response to help the body fight off the HPV virus that causes the wart.”
