Human: I'm trying to find out how to get rid of a wart. Assistant: 
The first step in getting rid of a wart is to identify the type of wart you have. There are three main types of warts: common warts, plantar warts, and genital warts. Common warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be treated with over-the-counter medications such as salicylic acid or cryotherapy. Plantar warts are caused by the HPV virus and are found on the sole of the foot. Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus and are found around the genitals and anus.
