Warts - any solution

Any idea how to get rid of them?

I have a couple of them on the toe of one of my feet for a few months now. Now they hurt and the only foot wear I can use is joggers or sneakers which look cartoon-ish in office.

Re: Warts - any solution

There are 3 methods to wart treatment:

  1. Salicylic acid
    You can buy salicylic acid wart treatment, or just crush an aspirin tablet in a little water to make a paste, then apply 3-4 times daily. It can take up to 12 weeks to go away. It will dry out, flake, and you may feel some itching from this method.

  2. Freezing
    You can buy products for what is called the "cryotherapy" method of freezing off warts. Look for products that have dimethyl ether, propane, or isobutane listed as an active ingredient. This method usually takes around 2 weeks. The wart will freeze, blister, and then fall off. You may feel a little pain.

  3. Duct tape
    Apply gray (original) duct tape so that it completely covers the wart (do NOT cover the skin around the wart), and leave it in place for six days. Remove the tape and then soak the affected area in warm water and then scrub with an emery board or pumice stone. Then put another piece of duct tape on the wart and repeat the process. After two months the wart should have disappeared.

There is another duct tape wart removal method which involves applying warts with salicylic acid before going to bed. Let it dry and then cover with duct tape. In the morning peel off the duct tape. Warts should get smaller each day. Repeat the process every night at bedtime until the wart disappears.

Sorry, but there is no instant fix!

Ended up using Coricide Lucot (medicated plaster) and one of the warts came off quite quickly. Still using it for the other one so it might take a couple of weeks. Irritates like anything but still effective.

one natural totka found on internet, put banana peel inner side on wart, i wonder how that helps

also, put nail color on wart, it will dry up, but i guess it is only effective on the small new warts

I have heard that applying dettol on them regularly make them fall off.......you can try it at your own risk as I have not personally experimented it
