Abstract:
Warts, small skin protuberances caused by human papillomavirus, are not life-threatening, but can be unsightly, embarrassing, uncomfortable and potentially contagious. They may regress naturally but over a prolonged time. Hence wart-afflicted people seek prescribed or over-the-counter therapies. Out of the innumerable marketable anti-wart medications, only a few are effective. Besides, frequent applications over months and certain undesirable side effects limit their success rates. Recurrences are also known. Hence the search for an effective, safe, cheap and quick medicine that is easy to apply continues. A number of patents for anti-wart therapies have been filed in the last few years. In this article, we enlist the recent anti-wart patents and find out those holding promise in the future.
