Warts are common benign lesions caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) affecting the skin and mucous membranes which lead to considerable discomfort for those affected, primarily due to their cosmetic impact, particularly filiform warts, which often appear on the face and have small, finger-like projections. A patient reported with single, well-defined, horny, brownish, large wart approximately 3 cm present near the left lateral commissure of lips   for the last 8 months which are slightly painful. After case taking and repertorization, Thuja occidentalis was prescribed in 200^th potency for 5 days & patient showed drastic improvement within short span of time. This case is presented here to show the effectiveness of homoeopathic medicine selected on constitutional basis and use of proper dynamization & doses led to speedy & gentle cure as stated in aphorism 2 in Organon of medicine.
