Wart treatment (image 2 of 3). Wart on a toe being killed by liquid nitrogen on a cotton bud. The upper part of the wart was cut off with a scalpel. The use of cold to kill tissue is called cryosurgery. The liquid nitrogen freezes the wart solid. As the wart thaws,a blister forms,lifting it off the skin. Warts are growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Photographed during a wart clinic at a general practice doctor's surgery.
