Its actually one wart and two tiny ones next to it, its been there for like 3 years because I feel too silly to go to the doctor for it. I’m getting new medical insurance next month though, maybe I will go to the doctor.
In the meantime, are there any home remedies? I thought warts usually went away on their own after a year but I know I have had this at least 3 years.

From my understanding, there any different types of warts, some that eventually go away, and some that will be there unless you get them removed.
I used to have some on my foot when I was in elementary school, and they magically disappeared sometime. I used to be to embarrassed to show them to my mom, so my big plan was "when I turn 16 and get my license, I’m going to walmart and getting stuff to get rid of them"…LOL.
That being said, have you tried any OTC medicines? I know there’s "Freeze Away" that freezes the wart off, along with some band aid looking things that are supposed to remove them as well.
Edit: Not sure about ALL warts being caused from the HPV virus. I don’t think I had HPV then..LOL. And my daughter has teeny tiny flat wart on her cheek (can’t even notice it unless I point it out) that I got checked out yesterday and her doctor said it was nothing at all, that it wouldn’t change or spread, and should go away on it’s own. HPV was never brought up, and I would have freaked if it would have!!
apple cider vinegar on it with a cotton and bandaid. It will take a few weeks, but be religious about it. I used to have hundreds of them.
Some warts are very contagious, so your doc can freeze off in a simple painless visit by using local anesthetics and
There are numerous over the counter drops to choose from, ask pharmacist near you.
you can remove warts by surgery, freezing, laser, acid or with cream but warts can reappear again and again because warts appears when your immune system is weak! so you must build up your immune system because your body can get rid of warts by itself if your immune system will be strong! so eat more healthy food, more vitamins and more sport activities!
(No smoking, no beer/ale, no booze, no drugs, no junk food, no fast food garbage, no sugary sweet soda’s. Get on a good, balanced, healthy diet including plenty of boiled or steamed vegetables. Drink P L E N T Y O F W A T E R , fruit juices & fat free milk. Snack on lots of RAW fruit & veggies. Get up one hour early every morning & take a BRISK 30 minute walk – then – do the same thing again in the evening after dinner. Make sure you eat a good, balanced breakfast daily. You get your energy for the day from your breakfast meal. Get 8 hours sleep each night. Flip your mattress over so it will level out to give you a good night’s rest. Slack off too much coffee & tea.)
HPV is the virus that causes warts. And HPV virus has many strains. In your case you have HPV virus strain number 2. People can be infected with HPV and never show any symptoms. Others will develop warts. These warts can stay the same size, grow, or go away on their own. It depends on the infected person’s immune system. A healthy immune system means your body may be able to suppress the virus and not show symptoms.
also you should use some herbal treatment!
in that case Wartrol is a good (probably the best) product that gets rid of warts and makes you feel more confident knowing that they wont reappear again! it says that it is designed for Genital Warts but
it does not matter because warts are warts and wartrol works by stimulating your immune system to fight the HPV virus that causes the warts. of course it is better if you use full course (5 months – if I remember correctly).
It worked and still works for me!
I do not know if any pharmacies carry Wartrol but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.wartrol.com/?aid=749165
good luck!
