Cover the wart in a piece of silver duct tape for a week. At the end of the week soak it in warm water and use a file on it to remove the top layer. Cover again with duct tape and repeat until it disappears. Studies have found this to be more effective than any over the counter product and even cryptotherapy (freezing). The ingredients of the tape seem to have some effect on shedding the surface of the wart and gradually wearing it away.

There's a ten ton of stuff over the counter for warts and veruccas but it can be very hit and miss whether a certain remedy will work for you. The cryotherapy methods can work fantastically for some people but it seems to be only if the wart it quite small or already warn down by other treatments.

Salactal Gel is a popular one, you put a thin film of gel on top of the wart in and let it dry. After 24 hours you pick it off gently and file the wart off. This takes around two weeks but it might not be so desireable for a wart on the hand as the gel dries white and can make it more noticeable during treatment.

Occlusal is similar to salactac gel but it's aimed at treating warts only as far as I know (where salactac gel is for both). It's frequenty recommended by doctors especially for large or stubborn warts. Generally it's time for a drip to the doc if the warts still hanging around after x amounts of treatment.

Apologies for the double post but I only just saw this. No, you wont be rolling around in agony. The whole process stings slightly and the area itself can be a bit tender to touch but it clears up pretty quickly.

Gyalist

Banana skin on the wart works as well as any OTC medicine. Cut a piece that completely covers the wart and tape it in place at night. After about 5 days it just falls off. I've used this to remove both veruccas from my son's foot and a wart on his index finger.

Ive been trying the Scholl freeze one for a while and the only results i see is it leaving a blister..which is normal it says but then the blister goes away but wart is still there..i have heard the banana thing works actually altho i hate the smell..but then again manky smell that can wash off or manky wart.....

I had one before. I went to the doctor and got it frozen off, it's the best way. It's a bit sore and tender but it's ok.

how much roughly does that cost pythia?

i've used salactonol (sp.) before and does the job but takes about two weeks.

much rather pay more and just get the whole thing over and done with.

It didnt work for me either until I maxed it up. Used it repeatedly. Was pretty sore and it killed a bit of the skin around the wart but it worked.

+1 for the Duck Tape, it worked wonders for me when freezing failed.

I used Wartner and worked a treat - I upped to dosage and it did sting but it worked!

If you're a member of VHI you can make an appointment in one of their Swiftcare Clinics and cryotherapy is free (i.e. covered under your policy). You don't have to hand over a penny - just sign the form on the day.

my granny cut up a raw potatoe and rubbed it on mine - she said some religious stuff and made me throw the potatoe over my shoulder down to the back of her garden too - but it worked and they havent come back .. i used to have a load of them like

dlambirl

I've heard about that one top (the potatoe)

Grannys know everything!!

Another "cure" is if you get your granny to rub her gold wedding ring over the wart and it will fall off within a few weeks.

That Scholl Freeze Verruca and Wart is better than Wartner and the best home remedy thing.

Ya just blast the fkker until it stings like hell and it's hugely white in all the surrounding area.

Don't waste your time being a pussy with it
