Wart is a very common and harmless skin condition but it can be unsightly. There are wonderful home remedies to treat warts easily. Though you can remove warts surgically, I would suggest trying these home remedies first. Here in our village, we use a herb called amman pacharisi to treat warts. We apply the milky sap of the plant on the wart till it falls off.

Warts refers to small, hard growths in the skin consisting of dead skin cells. We get warts when viruses, mostly the human papilloma type affect our skin. They are usually painless and harmless but can be unsightly.

But plantar wart which refers to the warts that appear on our feet can be painful when we walk as the weight of body presses it inwards. Warts have a rough surface and can be either lighter or darker in color.
