Viral warts are well-defined, hyperkeratotic mucocutaneous lesions caused by human papilloma virus infection, that can occur anywhere on the body. Various medical and surgical modalities are required for treatment of warts as spontaneous regression is rarely seen. Despite the availability of multiple treatment options, warts are often recurrent and resistant to treatment. The effectiveness of autoinoculation in the treatment of multiple or recurrent verruca was evaluated. Consecutive cases with at least five warts or recurrent warts were included. A treatment-free washout period of 1 month was ensured. Patients with verruca vulgaris (n = 13), palmoplantar (n = 4), periungual (n = 5) were included in the study. The warty tissue was excised, minced and homogenous tissue implanted in a small dermal pocket in the left forearm.
