Abstract: Introduction Verruca vulgaris is the common benign proliferation of the skin that are encountered in dermatological practice caused by Human Papilloma Virus. The clinical management of verruca vulgaris is often challenging. Multiple modalities of treatment are currently existing, but none of them is singularly effective. Aim This study was designed to compare the therapeutic response of warts to trichloroacetic acid versus electrosurgery Design of the study This is a randomized double blind prospective study Materials and methods The study was carried out for 12 months and it included 60 patients. Patients with genital warts, immune compromised patients, pregnant and lactating mothers are excluded in the study. Statistical Analysis used chi square test Results Electrosurgery was used in 30 patients with complete clearance in 27 cases.50 % TCA was used in 30 cases with complete clearance in 7 patients. Conclusions Electrosurgery treatment in warts is the best treatment when compared to 50 % Trichloroacetic acid
