Home Remedies For Wart
Removal
By Tina Porter
Warts are unsightly growths that are caused by the Human
Papilloma Virus. They are contagious and they can be extremely
difficult to get rid of. While it is usually best to see a
physician for the treatment of warts, many people just plain
can not afford to. It can cost hundreds of dollars for one
treatment and even if it works, there are no guarantees that
they will not come back at some point. While there are many
home remedies for warts available, those listed below are the
most popular. Keep in mind that there are no quick home
remedies for warts. They will take some time and patience in
order for them to work:
* In many cases, warts will go away
without any intervention. If they are painless and
inconspicuous, it might be best just to let them run their
course.
* Apply a piece of duct tape to the wart,
ensuring that the entire wart is covered. Do not remove it for
at least a week unless it comes off on its own. If it does,
apply another piece. At the end of one week, soak in warm water
for ten to fifteen minutes and remove the duct tape. File the
wart with an Emory board or pumice stone. Apply a new piece of
duct tape and leave on for another week. Repeat this process
for as long as necessary.
* Apply Vitamin A once daily directly onto
the wart. One way of doing this is to go to the drugstore and
purchase capsules that contain 25,000IU of fish oil or
fish-liver oil. Cut the capsule open and apply the liquid
inside to the wart and gently massage it in.
* This remedy may sound a little weird but
many people swear by it. Soak the wart in warm water until is
softens up. Dry thoroughly and then apply a coat of clear nail
polish onto it. Once the nail polish dries completely, cover it
with a band-aid. You may have to repeat this process several
times if the nail polish cracks. It could take close to two
months for it to completely eliminate the wart.
* Many people also claim that massaging a
wart with raw potato or potato skins will eliminate it. Rub the
potato or potato skin on the wart several times a day for two
or three weeks and the wart should be gone.
* Massage the wart with a raw, crushed
garlic clove several times a day. You can also leave it on
overnight by covering it with a band-aid. There may be signs of
improvement after the first overnight application. Either way
the wart should disappear altogether within in a month to a
month and a half.
* Soaking the wart in full strength apple
cider for ten to fifteen minutes is one of the most popular
home remedies for wart removal. You can do this either by
submersing the affected area into the vinegar or by applying it
directly with a cotton ball or q-tip. This should be done at
least once a day until the wart is gone.
While there is no scientific evidence to support any of
these home remedies, there are many people who are willing to
say, without a doubt, that they do work. Of course, something
that works well for one person may not work at all for another.
The only way to know if something will work for you is to try
it.
