Neck warts are the result of one of the many variants of HPV (human papillomavirus), which is a sexually transmitted disease and can be carcinogenic in some cases.
Neck warts can be removed with creams, surgical procedures, or home remedies like garlic. Below we explain each one in detail so you can decide which is best for you.

Creams or surgical procedures for warts on neck
The removal of warts in the neck area can be carried out in different ways, as modern medicine has developed various methods, as well as drugs intended to treat this aesthetic (and health in some cases) problem.
Depending on how numerous or resistant the warts are that the patient affected by HPV presents, the specialist doctor will decide which treatment routes are the best, these being creams and surgical procedures.
Creams
Among the creams that are frequently used for the removal of warts on the neck caused by HPV, we have:
Imiquimod
Also called Aldara or Zyclara, this cream is one of the most used in patients who do not present a very aggressive symptomatology in terms of the number of warts on the neck (usually between 1 or 2) or in the resistance they have.
The key to its use is the increase in defenses in the immune system, which causes the warts to gradually weaken until they fall off.
Podophyllin
With other commercial names such as podofilox and Condylox, this cream is made from plants with properties that serve for the elimination of warts, destroying their tissue quite efficiently.
As an advantage, podophyllin can be applied on an outpatient basis both by the doctor and by the patient himself.
Surgical Procedures
When the application of creams, like those mentioned before, can’t help you eliminate the warts on your neck, then a more rigorous intervention will be required through surgical procedures.
Cryotherapy
This surgical procedure involves using liquid nitrogen on the warts caused by HPV, being carefully practiced by the specialist doctor because it must be directed exactly on the patient’s injured area.
It’s important to mention that several sessions might be required until the warts finally fall off the neck.
Electrocautery
Electrocautery is another of the surgical procedures widely used in the elimination of warts due to being less complex or delicate than cryotherapy.
It involves applying small electric shocks on the warts located on the neck in order to burn them.
These were some tips to help you know how to deal with HPV. However, there is much more you need to do if you really want to get rid of HPV and warts forever.
What you need to do is GET RID OF THE ROOT of the problem.
For that reason, I recommend you to look into Dr. Kirkland's story and how he was able to cure HPV and get rid of warts for good.
Home Remedies for Neck Warts
In addition to the methods discussed previously, there are several home remedies intended for the elimination of warts on the neck without major inconvenience. Let’s see it below.
1. Lemon
Thanks to its antiseptic properties, lemon is a frequently used home remedy for wart removal.
Garlic can eliminate the infection caused by HPV and also boost the body’s defenses if consumed orally, given its high content of vitamin C.
2. Garlic
In past content, we have recommended the use of garlic for the elimination of warts caused by HPV, as it has antiviral properties designed to combat this virus and consequently boost the defenses of the immune system.
As for the correct way to apply it to warts, it is recommended to crush it until achieving an almost creamy consistency and then place it on the neck.
3. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar has given very good results when used as a home remedy to eliminate warts produced by HPV.
And that is due to its acetic acid content, which is quite effective as it burns the warts periodically until they fall off on their own.
4. Baking Soda
Baking soda is another popular remedy to achieve the elimination of warts caused by HPV in the neck.
To ensure good results after its use, it is advisable to moisten it with a few tablespoons of castor oil and then beat it in order to apply it to the warts.
Once applied to the warts, it is important to let the baking soda rest on them for a period of 30 minutes, although of course, this treatment must be carried out several times until they fall off completely.
If after a week or two you notice that the changes are few or practically nil, then a visit to the specialist doctor will be necessary so that he can carry out a diagnosis and deeper treatments on the warts located on your neck.
Among other mixtures that can potentiate the elimination of warts with baking soda, there are also lemon, aloe vera, and even onion juice.
These were some tips to help you know how to deal with HPV. However, there is much more you need to do if you really want to get rid of HPV and warts forever.
What you need to do is GET RID OF THE ROOT of the problem.
For that reason, I recommend you to look into Dr. Kirkland's story and how he was able to cure HPV and get rid of warts for good.
I wish you great success in your recovery!
