There is different types of acids or chemicals to burn off warts.

Here is some of them.

1) Liquid nitrogen. - Liquid nitrogen is placed on the wart and the wart instantly freezes killing the wart and with in two to three days the dead wart will fall off.

2) Bleomycin. - Bleomycin is also known as bleomycin sulfate or blenoxane. It is used as an anti-cancer drug. But can be used to remove warts when all other treatments have failed. Bleomycin is very costly.

3) Salicylic acid. - Salicylic acid is a chemical. This type of acid/chemical is most commonly used in wart removal.

4) Dinitrochlorobenezene - The short form is D.N.C.G this is a chemical. It is a lot stronger then the Salicylic acid. D.N.C.G can only be obtained by a prescription.

5) Cantharidin - Cantharidin is a chemical obtained from beetles or can be man made. Cantharidin is mixed with Podophyllin, placing this on the wart will kill it. Making the wart turn black and soon after the wart will fall off.

I hope this answers your question. I found this information on the internet. So I'm sorry if any of this turns out to be wrong. I was only trying to help. Yours truly Dying to know.

I tried liquid nitrogen on several occasions for some plantar's warts on my foot and it didn't seem to do much of anything (they actually spread to my thumb now D:), but fresh garlic cloves seem to do the job. I noticed that the guy before me didn't mention them, so I'll just give a little overview.

Pros: Natural, cheap, effective, safe

Cons: Bad-smelling, not something you can take around with you, and a long time is required for full effect (I bandaged them on for a week or two all day, every day and they still didn't go away).
