The best way to get rid of warts is to use a topical cream or ointment that contains salicylic acid, which is the active ingredient in most topical antiperspirants. It’s also a good idea to apply a moisturizing cream to your feet before going to bed. This will help keep your skin moisturized and protect it from drying out.
