Indications

For removing common warts: common warts are skin-colored, usually appear on the hands and feet and are recognized by the rough "cauliflower-like" appearance of the surface.  They are harmless growths that consist of a center of inner skin (or connective) tissue with blood vessels covered with layers of outer skin (or epidermis) tissue. For removing plantar warts from the bottom of the foot: plantar warts are recognized by their location only on the bottom of the foot, their tenderness, and the interruption of the footprint pattern.  Plantar warts grown inwards and are often flat due to the pressure caused by walking.  They are often callused and painful.
