Lots of thoughts come to mind. If they are not large and unsightly they will usuaully disappear with time. They are viral in origin and your immune system will eventually kill them off. If you can't wait that long, try corn paint or the milky sap from dandelion stalks which is an old countryman's remedy. If they are close together, try only treating the larger one and the other may go of its own accord. The liquid nitrogen treatment is very inexpensive usually as docotrs tend to hold 'wart clinics' every couple of weeks or so when they get a batch in and it is a very effective cure.

There are a number of over the counter medicines. I tried Compound-W for a wart on my hand when I was a teen ager. My wart disappeared just as the directions said it would. It has never re-appeared.

I've also seen pre-medicated "band-aids."

Good luck!
