Warts Causes, Symptoms, Treatment & Removal
When I was a kid I used to get them on my hands all the time, and we had to use the "compound w" and stuff over and over, all the time, and it was about as uncomfortable as when you have a wound that’s healing that gets really itchy, only it lasted all year. I filed them off with a pumice stone in third grade.
If you go to a doctor’s office, for about $50 (you’ll spend it in a year on products to remove a couple stubborn ones) they paint them with acid. Your doctor will tell you "When this stings, it’s hitting real skin, so wash it off with soap." You do, and within 24 hours, the acid-eaten thing just falls off. Much faster.
freeze away – it’s the same stuff dr’s use
c a homeopath
eat vitamin e foods like avocado or sunflower seeds
take vitamin e capsules and cayenne pepper capsules
For Plantar warts you can mash a clove of garlic at night and smear it directly on the wart, then cover it with a bandage. Repeat this for 10 days.
If they are regular warts, you can cover them with duct tape. I swear to you! My husband had them on his feet and the doc told him to cover them with duct tape, take vitamin E, and rub his feet with olive oil daily. They disappeared!
You have to wear the duct tape for six days and then remove the tape and soak the affected area in water. Then scrape it with an emery board or pumice stone. Keep this up for up to two months or until you no longer have problems.
The duct tape irritates the wart, which causes an immune system reaction that attacks the growth.
Freeze away is great. I also read a study that used duct tape. No, I am not kidding. They say if you cover a wart with a small piece of duct tape for 7-10 days it goes away. I have never tried it but I am curious.
If they are not causing any problems they will go away on their own after about a year. Warts are caused by a virus and it takes your body awhile to produce enough antibodies to make them go away. If they are causing problems then the best treatment is the freeze-away stuff. This is similar to what doctor’s use in their offices – a liquid nitrogen solution.
I agree with the freezing and duct tape method. Dr. Scholls makes a pretty decent freezing kit – try it out.
An old wives tale but it works. Rub a slice of raw potato, every day for a week. Honest
