Wart removal

I have had a wart on my finger for over a year. I've tried all over the counter medications. It only got worse and turned red and became painful. I started filing it down. that helped a lot. I filed it till it bled after a bathing two or three times a week. Then I started taking a needle and tweezers to pick out the seeds (they are brown. This has helped the most. While i still have the wart- it is very small now and only have to pick the seeds outonce a month (when they appear). One thing I noticed is that an excellent time to pick these seeds out is after swimming in a pool treated with chlorine as the seeds are easier to see.

i had many warts on my hand and i applied my boyfriends cum and they were off in 2 days///it was amazing

Warts Treatment

The garlic one works amazing I am wart free thanks to that one. My gram told me to take a slice the size of the wart, place it on the wart and put some vitamin E around the whole thing (for moisture so it doesnt dry out) and cover with a bandaid. I didnt smell so lovely when I uncovered them, but nothing a shower couldnt solve. It actually worked SO fast that I checked after a couple days of repeating the process and it was gone.

Home Remedies for Warts

crack an egg and dip the wart into the white part of the liquid and let it dry.do this 2 times a day and it will be gone in a few days.

#5 - malcom - 11/04/2007 - 22:16

Dip a small piece of cotton wool in cider vinegar, place it on the wart and wrap it up in a plaster, change the cotton wool every few hours. the wart will gradually turn black and shrink and then fall off. this will work within a week. i've used this method loads, its brilliant!!

#6 - annie - 12/21/2007 - 12:18

Dab on tea tree oil and swedish bitters. It works!

#7 - Yer Her - 01/28/2008 - 06:55

Tea Tree Oil. Apply at once a day with a q-tip. Be patient it takes a few weeks but it works beautifully with no scars.

#8 - Betty - 01/30/2008 - 23:41

To actually get rid of any size wart in 1 week or less, this works. Dip one end of a cutip in vinegar, then cut of the top(the cotton part where the vinegar is)and tape it on the wart overnight. You can remove it in the morning and if nessecary, repeat the next night. It really works. A great home remedie for warts

#9 - kacie - 03/22/2008 - 20:27

This is no joke. I had a really embarrasing wart right below my nose, and it looked like a booger, so I went to a plastic surgeon, and they told me to take a dose of tagament each day, and to every night when I went to bed, and I everytime I could think about it, to wish the wart away, and think about how bad I wanted it gone. I actually went away!

#10 - jake - 03/22/2008 - 20:29

Put gray duct tape on the wart every night before bed. It's best to leave it on all day, but obviously you can't on the more visible ones. It works great.

#11 - Jess - 04/02/2008 - 23:11

When applying the crushed garlic on the wart --PLEASE TAKE IN EXTREME CAUTION. I used to do this when I had ringworms. I left it overnight and it BURNED my skin. I ended up with scars.

I suggest also taking in vitamins, basically boost your immune system because warts are virus-related skin problems.

#12 - Michelle - 05/01/2008 - 08:25

Ok yeah the Duckt tape really works i had one on my figer and wow it took maybe 2 weeks altogether continue to change the tape everyday

Warts and Mind Over Matter. When my mother and my 2 uncles were young all 3 had warts. My Great Uncle Thomas came to visit and told the children that they had taken care of his warts long enough. He said he would pay them for minding his burden and gave them each a nickel 'to buy the warts back' but the catch was that they couldn't spend the money, if they spent the money the warts would simply stay. My Uncle John threw his nickel in the river, my Mother Rebeca hid hers in a flower vase in a neighbors house, and my Uncle Philip bought candy. The warts were gone within 5 days. And to this day the only one who has warts is Uncle Philip, whom we refer to as 'Sweet Tooth'. The remedy works when the person believes. I've used this same concept with other things. While celebrating 4th of July my 4 year old neice burnt her finger on a used sparkler, I was very serious when I applied the chap stick, due to her trust and my demeanor she said it no longer hurt and the crying stopped. Simple Mind Over Matter.

#14 - Mare - 08/15/2008 - 01:37

if you take a piece of your own hair and wrap it tightly around the base of the wart, itll cut oif the circulation of the wart and it will fall off. how long it takes depends on the size of the wart, but trust me, it works

#15 - carol - 08/31/2008 - 14:08

Cut off the tip of the wart and apply and small bandage soaked in vinegar. The wart should come out within a week but a tiny scar may remain so should be last resort.

#16 - Jenna - 09/10/2008 - 16:06

we saw an indian doctor today about warts they are on 8 of my 10 fingers she said take red marine aglae it naturally boosts your immune system. vitamin e seems to work well and so does duct tape. can't wait to try the garlic. those aren't seeds by the way my other dr. that froze them 5 ouch freakin times said the black spots are broken cappilaries. they have to go away soon or i'll never get a freakin date.. by the way the boyfriends stuff leslie # 3 is really gross.

#17 - alyssa - 09/27/2008 - 17:57

I had over 30 warts on my hands, two on my feet, and one started on my face. I read about the warts becoming a blood infections. I took the suggested garlic and parsley tablets 3 times a day. (can get it almost in any health food store or grocery store) Within three days I saw my warts reducing and leaving. With in 2 weeks they were all gone.

#18 - Cindy - 10/04/2008 - 17:53

i have a huge wart right on my knuckle. I have got it frozen off twice now and used numerous creams while filing it down. But nothing has worked so far it just seems to be getting worse. I am now trying the garlic and also i am using tea tree oil and taking vitimans so hopefully it will work. Does anyone have anymore suggestions for me. I really need help with this.

#19 - marie - 11/04/2008 - 18:35

what to do with small warts almost all over my face like dots? please help me.

#20 - carl.valdez@yahoo.com - 12/01/2008 - 21:06

I have six sons and two of them had seed warts. The one had like 3 on one foot and 4 on the other. He used the banana peel and it worked. You take the bananas peel and put the inside of it on the warts. He would put it on before bed and put a band aid over it and sleep with it on all night. About 2 weeks they started turning black and falling off. But it did not work on the huge wart for my other sons hand. So I looked for something else and tried the apple cider vinegar( raw) and he would leave a q-tip sized on the place and leave it. It took 3 days for it to turn black. He had had that seed wart for at lease a year. He was so happy it was gone. We love apple cider vinegar. Its Awesome.

#21 - Shannon - 12/12/2008 - 11:20

My son had warts all over both hands for YEARS, no amount of liquid wart remover did any good. We also tried the expensive freeze method. Nothing. I finally read about using the WHITE MILK FROM A FIG LEAF and it worked in a matter of days! He had the big cauliflower-looking warts and within 2 weeks, his hands were clear! He's been wart-free for over a year now!

What my son did was break the leaf from the branch and apply the white milk to the wart once or so per day. He wasn't real exact with it, but once he saw the improvements he started being more consistent. I've also heard that the milk from a PENCIL CACTUS (I bought a small one at Lowe's and it also produces a white milk when broken) will do the same thing, but I don't know for sure since the fig leaf worked for us. I can't believe we spent so much money and heartache on Dr. Scholl's products when the answer was in our backyard... for free!!! I wish I had taken pics for proof because it's so unbelievable. If I had known it would work so good and so fast, I would have documented it. I wasn't a believer, but I am now! Oh, and there was NO PAIN involved. I hope this helps someone else.

#22 - Melissa in Louisiana - 01/08/2009 - 15:02

crush an aspirin in a large tbl spoon and mix with vinegar until a water past forms. apply solution to wart and to a bandaid and place bandaid on wart...change every day after taking daily shower. wart will disappear after approx' 4-5 days

#23 - chuck - 01/12/2009 - 17:14

well its not really a home remedy but it still helps a whole lot, i get them on my hands and i have tried all over the counter medicine and they work but the warts always come back or never go away completely and even though they may not be painful at first they become very painful, but anyways you can go to the doctor and instead of having them burnt out or frozen off you can have the doctor numb it and take a scalpul and cut it out you dont feel a thing untill your finger starts waking up from it then it hurts but they dont come back and if they do it is because they didnt get all the seeds out and also after getting this procedure done go to local drugstor and get a dr.sholes over the counter freez away and freez away were they cut it out and if they didnt get it all.. and just to be on the safe sideget the hpv/gardaseal shot i did and havnt had any warts in the past year

#24 - lacie - 02/19/2009 - 16:41

try taking a banana pill and taping it on the wart over night try this for about a week and the wart will disapear :)

#25 - cathy - 02/19/2009 - 16:45

I am an agri grad and while I was in school we would have show cattle that would get warts every now and then. Instead of freezing them off and possibly cause scarring we would cut a piece of the wart off and feed it back to the animal in their feed. I do not know if this is safe for humans but if you are out of money it might be worth taking the chance.

#26 - Dr. Agri - 03/04/2009 - 18:31

I had a wart on my finger for over two years, tried filing it down and applying lots of different types of things. Not related to this I seen my doctor and she suggested because of my age to start taking Calcium. I went to the store bought Calcium with Vitamin D and within 2 weeks I noticed less pain with my wart, now it has been exactly 2 months, IT IS COMPLETELY GONE! Yahoo. I am taking my daughter to a dermotologist she has approximately 40 warts on both hands and fingers. I started her on the Calcium this week (spring break) home from college and she already noticed a difference. I went to the store and bought both of us Multivitamins to help boost our immune systems and hopefully fight hers off without much more pain in freezing and cutting them off. It's really worth a try, warts are painful and ugly and make you very self concious.

#27 - T J - 03/23/2009 - 09:57

I had a huge wart on the side of my index fingure. I took a small piece of a cotton ball and soaked it in apple cider vinegar and put a bandage on it and changed it after showering and it was gone in about a week. You can tell when its ready to come off. Then I took some tweezers and it all came off in one try. It looked like a giant crater on the side of my fingure but that went away after a few days.

#28 - Amanda - 03/27/2009 - 04:06

yeah im in my teens and have like 9 warts i had 7 froze off as you can imagine it absoulutly killed but im really self concious and dont show ANYBODY my hands i need i really good method none of the soph ones work !!!HELP!!! :oops:

hi can i ask for a help??what is duck tape??is that a medicine??where are you buy in the pharmacy??please help me i really hate to see it i am getting married but the wart seem so embarassing near my ring finger... :-(

#30 - ashley lee - 04/09/2009 - 07:59

I had about a 100 or so flat warts on my hands and saw a dermatologist. He froze them off, and after they healed (6 months) they immediately began to come back. OMG that hurt. I heard that milk weed would cure them, so I tried it. I applied the sticky milk and left it on for about 30 minutes and then washed my hands. I did this for 2 or 3 days and they have never returned (it's been over 10 years). I also worked for a doctor who couldn't get his son's warts to resolve and he tried it with the best success. It's the best free cure out there, you can look it up on the internet to find out what it looks like. It starts growing in the spring and is the best around May to July.

#31 - Karen - 04/10/2009 - 21:51

Duck tape is a heavy duty gray tape that you can purchase at any drug store or gorcery store or office max. It is about an inch thick and is in a roll and not on a container. Hope your wedding goes well!

#32 - Lauren - 04/11/2009 - 22:07

I am using apple cider vinegar on the warts on my daughters' hands and it has worked in just a few days! The warts are black and I trust they will fall off soon. I HIGHLY recommend this treatment! I am also wondering what people have done with warts on the face. My daughter has the "beginnings" of 2 very small warts on her face.

#33 - KL - 04/13/2009 - 22:23

I just suddenly got a wart one day (a week ago) on my heel (kinda strange place for one) I'm thinking of using duck tape but would duck taping a piece of banana work doubly well or am i just being foolish?

I really want it go it's strange...I have never had a wart or anything of the like.

#34 - Yumaru - 04/15/2009 - 23:31

#40 - Emma - 05/24/2009 - 16:29

i had a wat on my thumb, so i went and bought something called DUO FILM, then everynight:
1.wash hands with soap
2. dry hands extremely well (blowdryer will help)
3. file the wart until it is a light pinkish color (if it starts to bleed thats ok, just stop then)
4.apply a little of the DUO FILM
5. cover with a bandage (tight bandage)
6. repeat every night for 6-8 weeks
7. it works :) i promise

#41 - Danielle - 05/26/2009 - 14:34

I had numerous warts around the edges of my nails for about a year. I tried everything. Finally, I just started wearing wearing bandages around some of the worst ones. Much like duck tape, the bandages suffocated the warts and triggered my immune system and got rid of all my warts.

#42 - shelshel - 05/28/2009 - 00:10

My husband had plantar warts for over 30 years. The warts were gone forever after he took 1 jigger a day of Tahitian Noni in 2 weeks time. He tried everything and nothing ever worked. Try Tahitian Noni. It also works on getting rid of acne.

#43 - Pat - 06/08/2009 - 04:15

It's NOT 'duck tape' it's 'duct tape' (you used it for sealing ducts in houses among other things).

#44 - Michelle - 06/14/2009 - 08:57

I had one wen I .was 10 all I did was pick and pick at it...since then I have never had one,,im 24 now so,,what causes them btw?? :-)

#45 - ariana - 06/27/2009 - 03:31

which remedy is best for the warts near the eyes..i have lotsa warts near eyes n cheeks also..what should i try??

#46 - nitz - 06/29/2009 - 11:22

If you are a man and have genital warts. Make sure they are not really PEARLY PENILE PAPULES. I put my ... thing... in so much pain because my doctor said they were genital warts, and I could not afford the treatments and nothing over the counter worked. I finally went to see a dermatologist (skin doctor) and he said they were pearly penile papules ... apparently something 30% of men get that look a little like warts.

If you have that don't worry it's normal and not contagious or anything and it's completely natural.

#47 - king - 07/07/2009 - 03:21

I have had warts on the bottom of my foot for two years and have tried everything. I even had them frozen off 7 times. they went away for a while and now are back, in extream. I am now trying the potato thing. My friend did it for ger two year old and it worked well, but has anyone else tried it?

#48 - Geet - 07/08/2009 - 00:12

i had warts when i was little all over my left foot. after taking a shower during ROTC in the school gym i got one on my toe. i just put vinegar on a bandage after cutting the wart open and i can feel it working right now. its stinging really bad.

#49 - warty - 07/10/2009 - 07:56

I had never had a wart in my life until a couple months ago, and then one day I got two, one on my index finger, and also my middle finger. I am going to try the apple cider vinager. My guess is that it needs something acidic to kill it, also most I've read, you need to keep it covered to help zap any oxygen from it. Which would kinda make sence, cause they feed off the blood vessels in your skin. I used the over the counter solution, but it didn't work, it tore up my skin, and actually made one wart bigger, and it really damaged my skin. The warts just came back.

#50 - Desi - 07/19/2009 - 23:47

Cut a potato in half and rub the white part on the wart, bury the potato in your yard and once the person forgets about the potato the wart will be gone. I used this and it worked it was funny I just realized one day my wart was gone and that I really had forgotten the potato ,and since then a friends sib and my daughter have both tried it and it worked for them also.

#51 - Sherry - 08/02/2009 - 10:30

My daughter began developing warts on her hand when she was about 11 or 12. Before long, her fingers were covered and they had spread to her legs. She wore bandaids all the time to cover them. We tried duct tape, potatoes, having them cut off, burned off, frozen, and every over the counter medication there was over a period of about 3 years. Since zinc is supposed to be good for your skin, I bought her a bottle of zinc tablets just out of desperation. After about 2 weeks, the warts literally began to fall off. She would be washing her hands and wah off a wart. It was the strangest thing I had ever seen. She has been wart free ever since.

#52 - Shena - 08/05/2009 - 18:33

I have been dealing with the same wart for the past 7 years!! It's on the tip of my right thumb, just under the nail, too! I've tried EVERYTHING! Frozen, burned, cut, lasered, OTC, Apple Cider, Duct tape...you name it, I've tried it! I would like to try something at-home because it's generally less painful and cheaper. Any other suggestions?

#53 - Jen - 08/15/2009 - 00:54

It's DUCT tape people not DUCK tape. Sheesh!

Warts are viruses so any anti-viral agent: Tea Tree, Boric Acid, Silver Nitrate and OTC treatments will work given time. Make sure to soak and file/slice the wart before applying treatment.

Can also try taping a piece of aloe vera every night until the wart is gone.

This works very nicely for plantar warts, the aloe soaks the skin over night and makes it easy to access the wart to cut and apply treatment solution to.

#54 - GB - 09/04/2009 - 19:16

I had some plantar warts on my foot. I tried all the remedies and the products you buy in the stores. Nothing worked. My mom met a lady at church that used Thuja liquid herbal extract on her hand bc it was covered in warts. In less than 3 months the warts were gone. I used this on my foot and no joke it really worked!! You can get Thuja at a GNC store or a herbal store. It comes in a lil glass bottle with a dropper and you put it on your wart 4 times a day! Just wanted to share with everyone.

#55 - Amanda - 09/10/2009 - 09:36

Hi I have got 2 to 3 small warts on my eye lid

#56 - Swapna - 09/15/2009 - 04:26

Hi,
My 4 yr old granddaughter has numerous seed warts on her thighs, stomach & neck. When she scratches them, the Mersa will come to the scratched seed wart and will become a sore as mersa does. She had mersa outbreak for the 1st time in Nov 2008 and has been under the care of her doctor with antibiotics but it seems to be coming back more often due to the scratched seed warts. Any suggestions? HELP!!!

#57 - southernko1 - 10/01/2009 - 09:30

I have one large wart on one of my fingers and I had tried mist over-the-counter products. All of them made it even bigger and i became very self-conscious of it. I have tried the apple cider vinegar which has turned the entire wart black. Guessing that it will drop off soon! :-D

#58 - anoyed! - 10/06/2009 - 00:49

#59 - jeena - 10/30/2009 - 16:16

my daughter had a few warts on her hands. i used all the over the counter meds. nothing worked. then she got a couple tiny ones under her nose! OH NO then my doctor put this black stuff on all of them, he said it was from some kind of beetle. ewww it worked like a charm! does anyone know of this stuff?

#60 - sara - 11/04/2009 - 13:32

I have had a huge battle with warts. I have tried everything from getting doctors to give me creams (since i had some on my face) and then burning the ones off on my legs. As well as trying duck tape and vinagar. If it took the wart away it came right back in as little as a week or so....It began to be a frustrating problem and I was really embarassed by it. Then i stumbled across this stuff you could buy call "heal warts" and I've only been using it a month and almost all my warts are gone!!! it was even sensitive enough to work on my face. I must have had 50 warts all together everywhere and now only like 5 remain and they are continuing to go away! I don't know what i would do without this product it save my self esteem as well as get rid of the warts!!! So if your tired and need something that actually works I would def recommend you try this because it was the only thing that worked for me and was well worth the money! ;-)
