Intervention group 2: For cryotherapy, liquid nitrogen is applied for two cycles of freezing and thawing using a manual spray. The spray gun is kept perpendicular to the wart at a distance of 1 to 2 cm, and the wart is sprayed until the formation of an ice ball spreads from the center to the edge of the wart and a margin of 1 to 2 mm.
