Nongenital warts are a common presentation in general practice. Despite treatment according to evidence based guidelines, a significant proportion of common warts fail to resolve, becoming recalcitrant. This poses a problem in clinical management. The recommendations for treating recalcitrant warts are unclear and there is a wide range of second line treatments available. This article reviews the available methods of treatment for recalcitrant nongenital warts as described in the medical literature.
