Background: Warts or verrucae are benign cutaneous and mucosal epithelial proliferations caused by Human papilloma virus (HPV). They are common dermatological concerns bothering patients. The present case series as per HOM-CASE guidelines on Verruca vulgaris and verucca plana show causal attribution of Individualized Homoeopathic treatment (IHT) on clinical improvement assessment by MONARCH criteria.

Cases presentation: The case series with two presentations of verruca vulgaris and one of verruca plana show complete resolution by IHT. The predominance of mind symptoms in cases suggested Belladonna, Natrum muriaticum and Hyoscyamus niger.

Conclusion: The elicitation of mind symptoms helps to pick most similar medicines out of all existing medicines which may not be routinely prescribed for warts. It reduces chances of failure and genuinely individualize the case.
