Warts:

Warts, or verrucae are benign growths or tumors caused by a virus and appear on the skin or the mucous membrane.

The virus responsible is the human papillomavirus (HPV).

They affect people of all ages but most commonly appear in children and teenagers. They appear on the hands, arms, legs, face, feet and even the genital area.

Corns:

Corns (Callosities) are horny indurations or thickening of the skin resulting from longstanding pressure or friction, or both.
Corns on the soles can be very painful. Very often the pain can alter a persons gait and may make walking unbearable. Homeopathic medicines do relieve this pain rather quickly and help soften the induration.

Overtime, the corns will decrease in size and the tendency for recurrence or multiplication can be minimized.

Molluscum Contagiosum:

These are benign, viral (DNA virus or poxvirus) skin eruptions appearing in the form of by small globular, waxy, umbilicated epithelial (superficial skin lining) tumors. They contain a semi-fluid, caseous matter which usually turns solid overtime.
Molluscum affects all age groups and is commonly seen in children and individuals having a lowered immunity. They tend to spread by contact and a person may have multiple Molluscum due to spread of the caseous matter within the Molluscum. Homeopathy works wonders in curing this ailment.
