Do warts and verrucas ever disappear on their own without treatment?

Yes, warts and verrucas can sometimes disappear on their own without any treatment. This can happen as the body's immune system recognizes the virus causing the warts and fights it off. However, this process can take weeks, months, or even years.

Key points:

  • Warts and verrucas are caused by a viral infection.
  • The immune system can sometimes eliminate them naturally.
  • Individual factors can influence how long they last.
  • They may recur after disappearing on their own.
