Warts are benign proliferations of the skin resulting from infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV)1. The skin is often considered a reflection of internal health and disruption of physiological balance may manifest through cutaneous growth such as warts. Although warts can occur at any age, they are most frequently observed in children and adolescents. Clinically, they may present as solitary or multiple lesions and are classified within the miasmatic concept of sycosis in Homoeopathy2. Their evaluation encompasses local symptomatology, Morphological features, Anatomical distribution, and the constitutional and Psychological characteristics of the affected individual3. Transmission occurs through direct contact, fomites, or autoinoculation, with higher prevalence in immunocompromised individuals. Types includes Common, Plane, Filiform, Plantar, and genital Warts. While conventional management includes Keratolytics, Cryotherapy, and surgical methods. From these there are chances of recurrence and discomfort. Homoeopathy offers a holistic approach, emphasizing individualized treatment through remedies such as Thuja Occidentalis, Nitric Acid, Causticum, Natrum Muriaticum, and Dulcamara, each suited to particular morphology and constitutions. This provides a comprehensive understanding of the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and Homoeopathic management of Warts by considering local manifestations and underlying susceptibility.
