the last option is surgical excision. But it has its limitations of scaring, pain and a high rate ofrecurrence.An Ayurvedic Kshara application may be an alternative to surgery because of its benefits, including no scarring, less pain, an easy-to-do procedure and requiring less time hospitalisation. So, to understand its importance over the surgery and other options, we took into consideration the Kshara application therapy in Warts/Charmakeel. Nowadays, every person is trying to get relief with easy methods, less hospitalisation, and according to their convenience.
