Removal by cautery is good choice.

Warts tends to increase in size and number if not removed by cautery. Cautery also needs to be done by an experienced dermatologist otherwise they tend to recurr. I would suggest take good diet also alongside to improve your immunity so that it doesn't spread more. When time permits get them all removed at one go by a dermatologist. Hope it helps.

Periungual wart is difficult to treat. It can be removed by electro cautery or radio frequency ablation. How ever there is a chance of recurrence.
