I've heard that I can get rid of a wart with a laser. Is this true?

No, you should not try to treat warts with a laser. Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is a virus that infects skin and mucous membranes. The HPV vaccine helps protect against most types of HPV, but it does not help with warts. A laser is used to remove warts, but it is ineffective at removing HPV.
