References In 1951, Lemprière declared: ‘Of all the futile disorders of the skin, it would be hard to find any that are regarded with greater contempt by the lay public and yet capable of resisting a greater variety of treatment than the group of papillary lesions commonly known as warts’.1 Unfortunately, even in view of the superb research conducted in the last 50 years, which is reviewed in this book, this statement has not been disproved.
