There is no conclusive evidence to suggest that hydrocortisone cream reduces the size of warts. Warts can go away on their own after a few years or by treatment with salicylic acid, duct tape, liquid nitrogen, etc. Some of the treatments, such as salicylic acid and duct tape, can be applied to the wart without a prescription. A health care provider must perform other treatments, such as the application of liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart. Please see this linked website for more information about warts.
