As you know, warts are a viral disease. Someone shook hands, held on to the handrail in the transport, used a towel of a family member or friend - and here's the trouble, one or more bumps appeared, rising above the surface of the epidermis. Although for the most part they are not dangerous, they look unaesthetic, and they can be transmitted to others through contact. There are several options for eliminating them: in a beauty parlor or on your own. For the latter, CryoPharma from warts is suitable.
Indications CryoPharma from warts

Dosing and administration

With one press of it, which lasts 3-5 seconds, the applicator is frozen and pressed against the wart. The time the sponge stays on the tumor depends on its type, size and location.
