10 Common Remedies to Get Rid of Warts _ Everyday Roots

8/9/2019 10 Common Remedies to Get Rid of Warts _ Everyday Roots

1/26

Warts are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus

(HPV), which has over 100 types. Dierent types

aect people in dierent ways, usually depending on

the strength of their immune system. Some strains

(like the one that causes common warts) are

relatively harmless, while others can pose much

more serious problems. Because warts are caused

by a virus, they can be spread to other parts of your

body and to other people as well. If mainstream

methods have not worked for you (or you’d rather

avoid treatments involving strange chemicals) try

some of these straightforward home remedies for

warts instead. They may not seem particularly

extraordinary, but that makes them all the better in

my opinion.

1. Apple Cider Vinegar

ACV is an all-star in the world of home remedies, so it’s not surprising that it’s rst on a list of how

to get rid of your wart. It’s simple, and many people have found success with it. It does not actually

kill the virus, but because of its high acidity it attacks the “esh” that makes up the wart, kills the

physical wart itself, and allows it to peel naturally from the skin. In theory, this takes the virus with

it, and it shouldn’t return anytime soon. Expect there to be some soreness/swelling in the

beginning, it’s normal, but of course you can stop the treatment if it’s too much. After a few days

your wart will mature to a lovely dark shade or black-this is good. Finally, it will come o. Let it

come o on its own, or the core might remain.

You will need …

-Roughly 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar

-Cotton balls or a piece of cotton cloth

-A bandage, gauze, or another piece of cloth

Directions

Soak a cotton ball or a piece of cotton fabric in apple cider vinegar. Allow it to saturate, and then

gently press out the excess liquid so that it is not dripping all over when you apply it. Place it over

your wart, and secure it with a strip of gauze or cloth. Do this every night and remove during theday-you can leave it on during the day as well! It is not instant, but the wart should die and come

o within 1-2 weeks.

2. “Milk” of Milkweed

Milkweed grows wild across the world, and can be found along the road, in elds, or your

backyard. While it is true that it can be toxic due to a “poison” called cardiac glycoside, it must be

taken internally to have a toxic eect. Because of this, don’t keep it around kids or pets, and do not

get it in your eyes. A small amount of the sap on the wart has been used as a natural remedy for

centuries, and was a favorite by Native Americans. A proteolytic enzyme found in the plant is

thought to “digest and dissolve” the wart.

-A few dabs of the sap (the liquid that looks like milk)

Directions

File your wart or use a pumice stone to get it slightly exposed (no need to go crazy, just slough o

a bit of the top layer). Break a few leaves o of the plant and squeeze the bottom of the stem to

release more of the sap. Apply enough sap to cover your wart. Leave on and reapply as needed. If

you develop any rash or skin irritation, stop and rinse o immediately! If you have sensitive skin, it

may be best to steer clear of the milkweed.

3. Banana mash

Similar to milkweed, bananas contain a proteolytic enzyme that eats away at the wart.

You will need …

-1 banana peel-something to scrap the inside of the peel with

Directions

Twice a day, scrape the whitish mush o the inside of banana peel, and apply it to your wart. Wash

your hands well afterwards to keep the warts from spreading. Repeat until the wart is gone.

4. Utilize Vitamin C

It is thought that applying Vitamin C directly to the wart will destroy the virus causing it. Using

lemon juice not only gives an extra boost of vitamin C, but the acid content helps “kill it o” so to

speak.

You will need …

-1 vitamin C tablet

-A mortar and pestle or something else to crush the tablet with

-A tad bit of fresh lemon juice OR some water will do in a pinch

Directions

Crush up 1 vitamin C tablet, and add enough lemon juice or water to make a paste. Cover this with

a bandage and reapply daily.

6. Dandy-lions

Have some dandelions popping up in your yard? Don’t rip them up and dispose of them just yet.

The milk found has been found useful in getting rid of warts, just be sure to keep up on applying it!

You will need …

-1 dandelion

-a bandage

Directions

Pull the head o of a dandelion and rub the milk onto the wart, and cover it with a bandage. Do

this twice daily until the wart is gone.


7/26

7. Slather honey on it

Organic Manuka honey, harvested in New Zealand, is perhaps the best to use. It is one of the most

potent types of honey in terms of the concentration of its antibacterial/antiviral properties. It is

also quite stable, unlike some other kinds of honey, so it can withstand temperature uctuation

without losing its benets. In addition to this, it creates a sort of “occlusion therapy” which is

essentially depriving the wart of oxygen and killing it (the theory behind duct tape, but honey is

much better than adhesive.) Verify that you are getting true Manuka honey from a reliable source

before purchasing.

You will need …

-A teaspoon of raw honey

-A bandage

Directions

File away the wart if you can, and then cover it thoroughly in a thick layer of honey and wrap a

piece of cloth around it. Leave it like this for 24 hours, changing the bandage and reapplying the

honey daily.


8/26

8. Put a potato on it

There doesn’t seem to be a set reason why, but one of the most common natural remedies for

warts you will hear about is rubbing a potato on it. There’s not a whole lot of scientic backing to

this theory, but over the centuries people have stuck to it and have found success. It’s worth a

shot! An interesting part of the original historical remedy is to bury the potato after use and when

you dig it up 2 weeks later it will have a wart on it (and yours will be gone.) That is very much

optional.

You will need …

-1 potato

-a knife

-a bandage

Directions

Peel a potato and cut a round slice o of it. Rub the slice on your wart 3 times a day, and if you

nd yourself resting, lay the peeled skin (potato-ey side down) over the wart for as long as

possible. You can also bandage the potato to the toe and leave it on until the wart it gone,

changing bandage daily.

9/26

9. Soak in Pineapple Juice

Pineapple juice softens the wart. It has a high level of acidity, and a special enzyme to dissolve and

eat away at the wart. It will sting at rst!

You will need …

-Pure organic pineapple juice

-A bowl

-A towel

Directions

2-3 times a day, soak your wart in pure pineapple juice for 3-5 minutes. Afterwards, pat the area

completely dry. Filing before doing this might make the area a little too sensitive, in which case,

steer clear of it.


10/26

10. Stick a needle in it

Warts are tricky little devils, they are a barrier that keeps the virus that causes them safe and

undetected by your immune system-hence why they last so long. It is our job then to alert our

body to this invader, and you can do so by using a sterile needle (this is known as

immunotherapy.) Once you poke it, your body knows something is up, and can attack it properly.

It sounds like something out of a weird alien movie, but the body works in strange ways.

Directions

Getting rid of warts with a needle is a straightforward home remedy. Ice the wart until the area is

good and numb and then hold a sharp needle over a ame to sterilize it. Poke it well into the wart,

but don’t hold it there. Poke the wart all over, and discard of the needle and wash your hands.

Now that your body is alerted, it will attack the virus that is causing the wart.

These aren’t instant cures, but in the scheme of things, 1-2 weeks is a short time to have a wart,

which can stick around for years. In addition to this, you’re not spending a bunch of money to go

to the doctor and use an extreme method of removal. Remember to be patient and most

importantly diligent-just because something isn’t instantaneous does not make it ineective.


11/26

Tips:

-Always wash your hands between touching your wart to keep it from spreading.

-If possible, use a pumice stone to slough o just the roughest outer layer of the wart-it allowswhatever you’re using to treat it easier access to the core.

-If using something like the banana to treat your wart, applying it to the dry pad of a Band-Aid is an

easy way to keep it covered.

-Stay healthy-a good immune system and healthy body is the best way to prevent warts!

The potato method absolutely does work! I am 63 yrs old and have used this method many times on

myself, and family. All you do is cut an unpeeled potato in half and rub half of the raw potato on the

wart, then throw it away in the yard. Has worked for me every single time. Hope this helps someone.

I agree! It worked for me years ago after trying numerous other methods. It was actually

an old Irish lady who told me about it. Apparently it was considered as witchcraft years

ago, as they used to rub a halved potato on their warts but would also bury it in the soil

so nature would assist with the healing process! Not sure I believe in witchcraft but it

definitely worked a treat!

this sounds strange but it worked when i was younger. my dad gave me a penny, i had to rub it on the

wart, and believe it will take the wart away. then put it in your shoe. the penny not the wart. I don’t know

what it was about it the believing it will work or the copper of the penny. but it has to be a penny

someone gives you for this purpose not one just out of your pocket.



That does sound strange but I am a firm believer in the power of the mind, and I can

believe that it went away faster because of the penny -whether the penny itself did

anything or not :p


The Happy Wife/Danielle Garcia

Although this is not as natural as the options you gave, I have a way that has worked for us. When my

daughter contracted molloscum at the pool, her pediatrician told us it would be quite painful, due to

the number of warts and the location (upper and inner thigh) to remove them with “conventional”

methods. She said we “could” buy an over the counter wart remover or we could try something less

expensive. She told me that the main ingredient in wart remover is salicylic acid, which is aspirin. She

recommended crushing up a few tablets and making a paste, which we applied once a day and let dry.

The warts started coming off and going away within a few days. Unlike the wart remover liquid (which I

had on hand from something else), the aspirin did not burn her sensitive skin either. If all else fails, the

aspirin is a good “next” step before moving on to the yuckier chemicals and more painful methods.


Amber

Thank you for this. My 4 yr. old daughter plays with our neighbor who has molloscum

and now she has them on the inside of her upper thigh. Not sure how she got them but

guessing they are from using our neighbor’s bathroom or playing on her bed/furniture.

My son noticed he had two on the back of his leg that we had frozen today. I am

horrified as no one in our family has ever had warts or anything similar. I know my 4 yr.

old won’t be able to tolerate the freezing as my 10 yr. old son did and she has about 15

on her legs already. I went searching for a home remedy that wouldn’t hurt her and

found this website and your comment so I’m going to try the aspirin tomorrow. Thankyou!

Charlotte

You’ve missed GARLIC off your list. It’s absolutely perfect for the job of removing warts and verrucas.

Just strap on a slightly mashed up piece to the wart or verruca.

Do any of these work on plantar warts? My daughter has one on her foot that was cut out andcauterized 2 years ago and it came back and is only getting bigger. She’s afraid to death to go back to

the doctor for liquid nitrogen therapy, but my husband and I have talked and think he might just take

her without prior notice…

Hi Andrea,

My daughter had plantar warts on her feet. I had them burned, cut out and she just got

more and more in that area. Eventually we got help with the salicylic acid and that

worked but now after many years she tells me she still has them. I developed one and

tried the salicylic acid. I thought it was gone and now it is huge. I saw a homeopath who

gave me stuff to take and within two weeks it is half the s ize and no longer sore. It is still

there but I have not finished the medicine. It is a virus in the body and you have to kill

that. I am thrilled that I did not have to do anything harsh. You cant just treat the

symptoms you have to get rid of the cause. Hope this helps


Joy

I had a plantar wart a few months ago, and it hurt really bad…but I can tell you

exactly how to remove it painlessly and quickly. I was trying everything, and

nothing worked. I didn’t want surgery because I am a naturalist and I hate pain.

Finally I found out from a dear friend that a slice of garlic is all you need to “kill” the

plantar wart. Just remove as much dead skin from the top of the wart as possible

to let the garlic “access ” the inner part where the virus is, then cut a slice of fresh

garlic to fit the area…don’t let it touch the skin around it or you may feel pain from

irritation.

Tape it on there overnight, as well as in the day as much as possible. When I had

my wart it felt like there was a big pebble in my shoe, even when I was going

barefoot around the house, and it was so painful that I couldn’t walk. SO if that’s

the case, just look for times when you will be sitting for a while and tape it on.

The wart died within three days for me. The inner part shrunk and turned black,

and I was able to literally just pull it out with some scissors and absolutely NO

PAIN. Afterwards there will be a little hole and it will heal up on it’s own.

If it takes longer than three days to “die” just continue with the garlic until you can’t

feel anything when you put pressure on it!

Another thing I did, was pray hard about it because I knew that our Saviour is the

only one who can heal, and for me the wart was pretty physically exhausting and

limiting. SO don’t forget to ask your maker to heal your wart, and do your part! ITWORKS! I did this same remedy for my Dad and he got the same results!

I hope you are blessed with a success in this endeavor!

P.S. Take high doses of vit c for a good immune system to heal and prevent warts

in the future. Also, eat a lot of fresh garlic in your meals. Blessings!


Sarah

I had a plantars wart on the ball of my foot for 22 years, we tried everything – cutting it

out, freezing it off, burning it out, salicylic acid, garlic, potatoes, vinegar, citric acid…

Nothing took it out. One day I got pregnant – and shortly after my wart was GONE. Now

all that remains is the nasty scar from being cut, burned and frozen out. This probably

wont help if your daughter isn’t of an age where she can think if this as an option, but I

would try something a little less dramatic than freezing – especially if she doesn’t want it

done.

Both my son’s had warts. One had them BAD on his hands and one had the planter

warts. Essential oils worked on the ones on the hands but it took patience! My son with

the planter warts – essential oils were making a difference but just wouldn’t completely

get rid of them. Finally I decided to use garlic which worked! They are currently almost

completely gone and we’ve only used garlic on them for 4 nights. Just cutting the garlic

did not work I had to crush garlic in a garlic press and apply the thick skin part of the

garlic to his foot and cover with a band aid overnight. My oldest with hand warts can

tolerate a lot of pain. On our third trip to the dermatologist he begged me to turn the car

around and please go home because he couldn’t stand the pain after trying to burnthem off. That’s when we got serious with essential oils. I would never bring my kids in

again to get them burned off with liquid nitrogen! Too many people have them come

back after all that $$ and pain!

After freez ing the warts on my daughter’s finger several times, her Pediatrician told us to try wrapping

her fingers in silver duct tape as soon as she gets out the tub and keep it on until the wart disappears.

Sure enough about two weeks later the warts were gone and have not reappeared. Not sure of the

science behind it but it had something to do with the glue on the duct tape.

After a long time suffering with planter warts on my feet and no treatment helped (including freezing) I

Tiger balm works, as far as I can tell.

I’ve had a rather painful verruca on my foot for over 10 years. I’ve tried a lot of OTC

treatments, and I’ve had it “frozen off”… twice. And it always came back. I tried some of

the things on this list, and not even those worked.

I started using tiger balm on a whim, and within two days its smaller, it doesn’t hurt, and

it seems to be healing!

These threads have been a good source of information. Its good to see there are so many options for

natural and homemade recipes. Thanks. I tried the essential oils mentioned on this site and a few

others, and they worked very well. I discovered premixed oils, wart-thwart.com, so you don’t have to

buy all the oils individually and mix yourself, which was a bit expensive. My daughter is 8 and her hand

warts completely went away in about 10 days. Hope this helps.


Diane Foust

A doctor also told me that cod liver oil works also. You put cod liver oil on the wart, then cover it with a

band-aid. He said you have to do this everyday until the wart goes away.

Another one that worked for me is vitamin E oil. Sock the wart in warm water to soften, then apply the

vitamin E oil, cover with sock. repeat each night. This process does take a while, but removed 30+

warts from both of my hands.


Connie HenryThank you


marge wilkinson

Thanks for the good info. I know banana peels work as i have used them for this but i just taped the

peel (inside of peel) to the area every evening. Everyday you could see how much smaller it was. It was

gone in 4 days.


Bev

after I had tried everything ( & I do mean everything else ) else failed to get rid of dime size plantarwart that I had been trying to get rid of for 6 or 7 years. I was guided by my Chiropractor to use a past

made of apple cider vinegar & ground Cayenne pepper with a band aid over it to hold it on , replacing it

with a net dose nightly..with in 7 to 10 days it was gone completely..

I had a wart v near my eye, getting bigger and uglier! Also one on my shoulder. I decided to try the

Manuka honey. I just dabbed some on each night using a cotton bud, cleaned the area each day with

water and re-applied. Both warts completely gone within about 10 days. I was amazed! I also use

Manuka for sore throat and any cuts, it is brilliant. Agree you need to make sure you are getting the

genuine thing as there are some fakes around. Thank you!

I noticed people asking about skin tags. I have had a couple on my neck and what has worked for me:

clear nail polish and bandaid. Just make sure that the whole “tag” is covered with polish and cover it

with a bandaid. Can be reapplied every day or every other day. It will turn black and fall of.

hi patti, does nail polish really works for skin tag? I am treating a very big skin tag in my

groin, it has become a size of a nipple as it is located where my skin constantly rubs off

and Plus all my warts appeared during my pregnancy. I’ve had the warts on my face

treated but thus big one costs $700 according to a clinic. I don’t want to spend that much

if I can do home remedy. it’s my second day to put apple cider vinegar. So far no result

yet. I’m quite impatient so will try nail polish tomorrow. Sorry for my long story

My 10 year old son has many warts. The last time I counted, he had 10. I’m sure there are more now.

Does anyone know if there is something he can take by mouth that will get rid of all of them? I just can’t

imagine applying something to every single one every day. Thanks!


abigail

just put 10 plasters in a row on a plate with there centers together, dribble manuka

honey on with a cotton bud, and place on area.

hope that helps.

I want to share this because I want everyone to be able to get rid of their warts painlessly. I had two

canthardin treatments that left me with a ring wart that was way bigger than the original. I decided not

to let the doctor treat it anymore because the pain was excruciating. I had purchased a bottle of

lavender oil a few weeks prior for something else and decided to give it a try on the wart. I put 4 drops

on a bandaid and do this twice a day. It’s been 3 days and the way has scabbed up and is going away! I

am amazed it’s happening so fast! $15 dollars for the oil and it will last you forever so you can use itagain if they ever come back!

So glad to find you blog site. My 9 yr old Granddaughter developed a wart on the bottom of her foot

within the first yr of her life, and now she has a wart on her index finger. I told her I’d do some research

for her and she will be happy to know we’ve got some remedies for her to choose from. I’m lookingforward to see what her choice will be and I’ll let you know the results. Thanks.

My doctor actually told me about the apple cider vinegar option. I had a wart on my temple and after 4

days treating it, it fell off the next week!


shannon

I have hundreds of warts on my legs from shaving and spreading them, which treatment would anyone

recommend so as not to irritate the surrounding tissue. I have used several treatments I bought online,

with not really any results. Please help, I have suffered for years and years with these warts.


Claire Goodall

It’s sound like you’re describing flat warts-common on the legs in large numbers, and

sometimes quite tough to get rid of as they shed virus cells even when they go away somore and more pop up. First, if you haven’t been, switch out your razor. Use disposable

ones if you have to. It is possible to contaminate the blade and spread the warts, and

since you are running the razor over your legs, this obviously spreads it. I wish I had a

remedy for them, but they are so numerous they can get tricky to g et rid of without

stronger medication from a dermatologist :/

My first inclination would be to apply a sort of paste from mashed up fruit/veggies high

in salycylic acid. Salycylic acid occurs naturally in fruits/veggies such as berries

(strawberries, blueberries, grapes, and cantaloupe, for example) as well as radish,

olives, and tomatoes. It is a concentrated form of salycylic ac id that is often prescribed

for warts. First rinse your legs with plain water, and then use a pumice stone (don’t re-

use them) to slightly abrade the surface of the wart-just a bit, no need to try and wear

them away. This helps any treatment you use really get in and “do it’s job.” Than mash

up your food of choice, spread it over the warts, and let it sit for 15-20 minutes or so

before rinsing. Stop if any irritation occurs. You can also try any of the above remedies.

Hopefully this helped some!


Matthew

Something that worked for me is sea salt an warm water took them off never seen them again. I’ve

used a lot of creams an other liquid stuff did not work only caused pain but this was painless

Sam



21/26

i think the needle poking for normal warts is the best solution, i used to use a similar

method as a child by taking the hard dry tip of a king palm leaf (or similar) and used to

push it through the wart till the tip stuck out the other side, there is no feeling in most of

the wart and if it does hurt you are going too deep. once through take a pair of nail

clippers and trim off the tips to avoid it catching or apply a plaster. in a week to ten days

the wart is gone!


maryanne

i have warts in my private area what can i use to get rid of them? i am thinking the oil or the garlic give

me the best solution ty


Rene

I know this sounds extreme, but all I did was set a stick on fire. Made sure it was nice and hot. Then I

simply applied the burning hot stick to the wart. It was gone and never came back. I had this wart for

years and was scared out of my mind about going to the doctor, I don’t know why. Every time I tell

someone this story they usually don’t believe me but I have the scar to prove it.


paris

Hi claire im paris.

I have a couple warts on my fingers and I feel embarrassed to hold hands with people and to let them

see my hand. I want to get rid of them . Which treatment do you think would be the best?


Jenna

I’ve been doing the apple cider vinegar and it’s been working really well. I have the black color on one

of them. I am wondering if I continue to use the vinegar until the wart is completely gone or just until it

turns to the black colour.

-thanks!


Jenna

I’m wondering if I continue the vinegar solution until after the warts are fully gone, or stop once they

turn the black colour?

-thanks!


Karis

I have actually used rubbing alcohol on mine, and that works fine, but I was hoping to find something

that would work faster (just a couple of days). I may try the g arlic. However, I also wanted to mention

that whenever I get rid of one, I eventually get another. When I started taking pills for candida, my

warts went away and stayed away. My candida has flared up again now, and the warts have come

back. Thought I’d mention this in case this connection helps anyone else.


Jane Ferrule

Fantastic Post! I don’t know if plantar warts are genetic or not, but everyone on my mom’s side of the

family has had them for as long as I can recall. My grandmother often said that apple cider vinegar

was the very best way to eliminate these nasty things, but I’ve been trying A CV on my youngest

daughter for a week now with no improvement at all. Is there a particular brand or “type” of ACV I need

to be applying?

I have got warts near my eyes and it’s appearing at neck also now. I tried homeopathic medicine for

Can someone help me to get rid out of warts with some easy and fast process/home remedy.

Thanks in Advance!!!


Poonam

Thanks for the information on how to cure warts!

I have been applying ACV on my 4 yr old boy’s foot for around 3 weeks now- every night and ( recently

started) morning. And putting bandaid to hold the soaked cotton and another bandage to hold this on

place and then socks.

Now since last week, the centre spot of the wart has turned black, but nothing is happening further. On

the contrary, the skin around the wart has turned red( lost the outer layer of skin) and I think it’s

irritating.

He doesn’t even walk straight anymore because of the pain!

He wakes up in the middle of night – keeps crying and complaining about the pain!!

So my question is, Am I missing anything? Why is it taking so long to go black fully and completely fall

off?

How long can I use this treatment for? Can I use the banana or any other treatment at the same time?

Or should I stop ACV treatment for a while?

Also, there is another yellow spot coming out very close to the first one – could this be another wart?

Please recommend…appreciate your help!

Thanks!

Tryed the garlic on my sons elbowls and within 10 minutes he was crying that it was stinging. S o I think

I used to have warts on my hands as a kid. Solution was really odd and ghastly, but it worked. We had a

house up on the hill and around it you could find black snails – the ones that don’t carry a house, cca 5-

10 cm long. ( I live in the middle of Europe ) My g randma took up a snail and rubbed it’s slimy

underside on my warts. It was jucky. But it helped. Grandma was gentle with the snail, snail survived. I

had to let the slime dry on the warts. And warts were gone after a week or so.

When I was younger (around 8 or 9) I had a wart on my finger. My mom used an old wives tale of using

a potato, however, the method she used was different, but absolutely worked. She cut the potato in

half, rubbed one half on the wart and had my brother bury the other half in diet (we had a stables out

back, across from our house). The next day i woke up, it was gone. I’m 54 years old, and I still

remember that like it was yesterday.


Rebeca

Great tips. Do you have any tips on removing sun damage (dark spots) on face.


Jamie

I love what your doing with the website that’s awesome I wanted to give you one more remedy for

worts ice it till its numb an kind of cut it with something or poke it with a needle exposing it, crush up an

aspirin put some of it on the wort an repeat till wort falls off. Once it falls off there is still what they call

“the core of the wort” continue with the aspirin to kill the core an the wort won’t grow back.

Hi had awful and huge plantar warts for 5 years. I tried all kind of treatments (including

regular painful treatments) I could find but nothing worked and my warts kept growing

and spreading!!! Recently, I decided to do a yoga detox. I ate only fruits and veggies for

the first week and then I did a fruit and veg fast for a week. The aim of this detox was

just to do a body cleanse advised by my yoga teacher. The second week my warts

disappeared completely and I just cannot believe it but I know it is the detox!!! I do not

really eat a lot of bad food but I certainly did not eat enough good food and ate too little.

Also, I drank a lot of coffee every day with plenty of sugar. I am not saying that the food

was the cause of my warts but I did some research and the detox is known to boost your

immune system and therefore help fight the warts or any other viruses. I am not sure

that it would necessarily work on someone else but you have nothing to lose and the

detox will make you feel amazing!!!! Good luck and keep me posted if this is something

that works or has already worked for you. Thanks

My 5yr son has a big wart on the tip of his middle finger right by the nail. It has been there since he was

I have had a wart on my right index finger for a couple of years and tried all of the stuff at the

drugstore which didn’t work. Because I am right handed it was embarrass ing, and so painful. It would

bleed, and catch on things , it was a nightmare. So about a week and a half ag o I went online to look for

home remedies and found the apple cider vinegar idea. This was on a Monday, and I soaked a cotton

ball with the vinegar, applied it to the wart and secured it with a band aid. I left this on over night, and

just as someone said it would, it turned black…yes, black! I couldn’t believe it! The vinegar killed it, over

night. I continued to do the vinegar/cotton ball/band aid thing, for another 2 days off and on so as to

keep the vinegar on it, but also to let the air dry it out. Every day I could see it improve., and I would

take an emery board and buff it, to smooth it, and take away the drying dead skin. Today is 12 days

later, and it is 99% gone. It’s truly a miracle for me after having this evil thing for over 2 years, and

being able to find a cure with things I already had in the house. FYI tho, this , like most other treatments

is not painfree, as the wart goes deep into your nerves. But it worked perfectly for me and was well

worth it. I just used store brand apple cider vinegar, nothing costly or fancy.

Any suggestions to remove a wart from the bridge of my sons nose near to the eye? We have been

using an antiseptic cream and our GP has suggested using alternative remedies as she is worried

about the proximity to the eye area.

when my son was about 5 he had numerous warts from his back and legs. dermatologist froze them

and they seemed to subside. He is now 13 and had had a growing mountain of a wart that developed

on his forehead, it is now about the size of nickel and little ones are popping up all around. My poor

baby!!! I wish I could take it from him and put it on myself!! He’s in junior high school…it’s a crucial time.

He has had it frozen numerous times. I have applied the salicylic acid. All of which leaves a young man

in tears and a mom with a broken heart. we have been trying the duct tape to “suffocate” it. the size

seemed to go down but then I purchased ($250) of nature cleanse. It was suppose to attack the virus

from the inside (which I know there is no cure) and then the topical ointment of natural oils attack the

wart. Well, in 3 weeks it just got bigger. So back to at home freezing and salicylic acid and duct tape

(another $30). Last nights treatment began with a ACV soak prior to freezing. Instructions state follow-

up with salicylic acid 25 hours. He’s off to school with a huge piece of duct tape on his forehead and

chin.

the pain…the embarrassment…the heartache….at this point I don’t care how much it costs……nothing

is working.
