Dr Phil: How can I remove warts on my four-year-old's fingers?

"Most warts will disappear within 12-18 months of appearing and don’t cause any medical issues, so it is reasonable to leave them alone."

My seven-year-old son has developed four small warts on his fingers, which are not painful or itchy. He picks them when bored, though I’ve asked him not to. I used an over-the-counter medication but it didn’t work. What would you recommend?

Warts on the hands and feet are so common almost everyone has at some stage had them.
