It is to them that the smearing of the surface of the wart is cut with potato, beans or an apple, which after that must be buried in the ground - after the decomposition of the object the effects of the warts must disappear;
- techniques, which use "dressing" warts with silk thread or thin twine;
- techniques in which, for medical purposes, the surface of the wart should be lubricated with the juice of medicinal plants or substances that have a keratolytic and anti-inflammatory effect.
The means of keratolytic action include acetic and salicylic acid, celandine juice, but when using these substances it is important to remember that they can not be used when warts are found in children.
These substances are quite toxic and when used in pediatric practice it is not possible to calculate the required dose of the drug.
The means of anti-inflammatory action include decoctions or juice of medicinal plants - aloe, dogrose, calendula, Kalanchoe, mountain ash, garlic, wormwood.
These drugs have a pronounced effect only with prolonged use, however, this technique helps to carry out the safe removal of warts in children. Undoubtedly, removal is most often necessary, since these local skin growths, which slightly rise above the surface of a healthy skin, are revealed in most cases. It is with such benign neoplasms that patients ask themselves how to get rid of flat warts at home and avoid their re-emergence.
In this case, the appointment of immunomodulatory therapy is important, which will help restore the disturbed status of the immune system - this will prevent the recurrence of the disease.

Local treatment of flat warts often involves the treatment of their surface with concentrated solutions of organic acids - apple, salicylic, acetic. The drug is applied only to the altered area of the skin and covered with a protective bandage on top, left in this form for a while, after which the dead part can be removed without difficulty after applying a warm compress or a bath.
