Dr Albergo is one of a few physicians who offers a non-painful treatment for wart removal. He applies squaric acid dibutyl ester to the warts to get the body's own immune system to attack the warts and prevent most future wart outbreaks. This type of treatment is good for patients who have numerous or recurring warts. Using squaric acid to defeat the warts can take anywhere from 2 to 10 treatments. It is a great alternative to using the painful treatment of liquid nitrogen or burning the warts off.
