The Journal of dermatological treatment 2022 JunPeriungual warts are common warts that grow on the periungual or nail margin, and it's challenging to remove them due to their particular location, causing its high recurrence rate and brings difficulties to the treatments. We successfully cured two cases of stubborn periungual warts by local hyperthermia. A male with warts on his hands and knees and a girl with periungual warts on her fingers received local hyperthermia of 44 °C for 30 min a time. One month after the last treatment, their lesions disappeared entirely and did not relapse during the follow-up period. These two cases showed that local hyperthermia might be a safe and effective method for treating periungual warts in patients with poor traditional treatment.
