I have two warts any one know an easy way to get rid of them at home? with out any over the counter meds? or any from my doc?
Answer:nice - now i gotta go buy some duct tape!
There is no way without buying wart remover at the store.
This may sound strange, but use duct tape! (Also called Duck tape, the brand of tape.) I was skeptical when I heard that, but was willing to try anything on my daughter's foot. So I cut a small circle of the duct tape and put it on the wart, and put a bandaid over it to keep it there for awhile. Every time the bandaid and tape came off, I put a new piece on it. And every night, I'd peel off the tape and put on a fresh piece. Over the course of a week or two, the topmost layers of the wart just peeled right off, little by little, and finally the whole wart was gone. It didn't take any more than two weeks, and it was completely painless!!
Duct tape (the silver kind). I guess it's proven to work, you just keep a piece on it and replace it as needed and it goes away fairly fast. I haven't tried this, but I have heard that it really works... also my cousin swears by vinegar. You just keep applying whenever you think about it. She had a lot of them as a kid and it seemed to work for her. I guess the smell goes away as soon as it's dry, so don't worry. Good Luck
This could be also a skin cancer or turn into one.
Get it checked and removed anyway.
well i had a wart once and it looked like it would never go away ,but i found an old Amerindian medicine book that said, i can wrap it with a tape of some kind to stop air from getting to it, so i wrapped it with a small piece of duct-tape for about a week and would u believe it actually worked, remember to change the tape after u take a shower because the water will seep into the tape and it would stink.I tried it more than once and it worked
