The results obtained in this study were as follows. 1. Mean age of our patients was 23-years-old. Of those 130 were male and 137 were female. 2. The sites of the lesion were face 34.8%, neck 5.4%, trunk 5.9%, arm 9.7%, hand 28.6%, leg 5.7%, and foot 10.0%. 3. The clinical types of warts were verruca vulgaris 53.8%, verruca plana 38.2%, palmoplantar 1.4%, and periungal warts 6.8%. 4. Cure rate according to treatment methods was DNCB 86.5%, DPCP 73.4%, cryotherapy 77.4%, CO2 laser 73.0%, bleomycin injection 72.0%, surgical treatment 82.8%, and electrodesiccation 82.0%. 5. Cure rate according to subtypes of wart was verruca vulgaris 78.3%, verruca plana 75.9%, plamoplantar warts 100.0%, and periungal warts 70.0%. 6. Cure rate according to lesion sites was face 77.5%, neck 75.0%, trunk 86.4%, arm 80.6%, hand 75.5%, leg 76.2%, and foot 67.6%. 7. Cure rate according to duration of disease was 0-1year 87.1%, 1-2years 77.5%, 2-3yeasr 80.5%, 3-4years 61.5%, 4-5years 57.1%, 5-6years 61.5%, 6-7years 77.8%, 7-8years 100.0%, 8-9years 50%, and 9-10years 25.0%.
