i have tried every store product here and even went to the doctors to get it froze off. the wart keeps growing back. this happened to me about 20 years ago also to another wart i had on my finger. i had found a green paste in the store and it worked, but i don’t remember the name of it. if anyone knows what the name of it is, it would be appreciated or if anyone has a tried and true remedy, let me know.

Here is a simple vinegar procedure you can try that many people have used to remove warts in one week:
Each night before going to bed soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar, apply it to the wart and then hold it in place with a band-aid. Leave it on all night, or if you like, 24 hours a day but change the soaked cotton and band-aid each evening for a week.
The wart will swell and throb a little as it reacts with the vinegar and then start to turn black within the first two days and after a week or two will be completely gone.
Check the reference below for recent testimonials.
rub it with pineapple then cover the wart with duct tape.
I kid you not this WORKS!
i heard put duct tape on it.
keep it covered with duct tape and do not pick at it
I don’t know what that paste is called, but years ago I had a small wart on the palm of my hand. I used lemon essential oil on it, the sort of oil used in aromatherapy and dabbed it on a few times a day (quite a few times) and it worked. It has to be pure essential oil though, not lemon scented oil or pot pourri scented oil.
I going with the duct tape answers. I did this and with the help of some Compound W, the warts were gone within days. My doc said to use the duct tape overnight and yank it off in the morning, but I wore it all day and replaced it maybe twice a day.
Be sure you yank it when you take it off..it will remove more cells that way.
an old remedy I remember from when I was a kid is to touch your tongue to the wart first thing when you wake up in the morning…it will disappear after a couple of weeks of doing this but you must do it every morning before putting anything else in your mouth….I think something in the pure saliva..enzymes or something, causes wart to disappear.
Good luck.
Here’s an old folk remedy:
Cut a potato in half and rub it on the wart. Bury the potato under the full moon. As the potato decomposes, your wart will vanish.

Good luck!
What I found out as a child was, when I rubbed the white fluid of a dandelion on it and than cover it with a band-aid it would go. It turned a bit yellowish at first,but it was a miracle to me.
I recommended to all kids in school and it worked. Was really exciting, because I was only 9 at the time.
There are a lot of dandelion products at the herbal store too, you could try those.
