Bananas and duct tape. Google it. :-)

Some say you can wish them away. I just wish they didn't show up in the first place.

My son had a lot of problems with them on his hands when he was in high school. After trying home remedies I took him to a Dermatologist and had them frozen off. They did not come back.

Jodi-

Apple Cider Vinegar! I'm telling ya, it works and it only costs a couple dollars. Just soak a little bit of cotton or gauze in ACV and keep in place on the wart with a bandaid. It will sting and stinks, but keep it there as long as you can stand it. Doing it overnight while you're sleeping is the best. It will kill the wart sometimes in just one application. The wart will usually look white or black afterward because it's dead, and will take a few days to shed off. If it's stubborn, do it a few times.

Only word of caution is if the wart is in an area with senstive skin, just use tiny pieces of cotton or gauze, so you won't burn/irritate the skin around the wart.

My mother said her foster mother could remove warts. Someone had her come to look at a prize milk cow who had warts all over her udder. I don't know what she did to remove them, but my mother said they went away. Another remedy was to steal a dish towel and bury it under the back step. ;) Hard to imagine an old Quaker woman telling anyone to steal anything...so maybe that wasn't her personal reccommendation, but that is one I remember hearing. I've also heard you can put a piece of aspirin on one, under a bandaid.

Compound W worked for me.

I am going to try the AC vinegar. Just went to the dermatologist a couple months ago and don't want to make an appointment just for a wart, even thought the freezing does work. Not so sure about freezing it off myself, Nicole, but I might try it if the AC vin does not work.

Olive oil. It's worked several times for hubby.

My daughter had three of them on her knee...She has gone to the doctor several times to have them removed. They continue to come back in the same three spots.

I'll have to pass on these remedies to her.

patti

doctor told ds to do this and for him they DID go way

Wish them away. The first thing to try is--wishing the warts away. No kidding. Studies have found that some people who imagine their warts dissolving do lose their warts. '' With young kids, suggestion sometimes actually works,'' says Dr. Levy. ''Simply have your child think about getting rid of his warts for several minutes every day, and it could happen.'' Be sure to explain to your child that this is an experiment, however, so she doesn't feel that she has failed if the warts don't magically disappear.

Then later he had some on his hand and had to have them frozen off.

You can buy over the counter kits to do it yourself also. But I actually found the apple cider vinegar worked better and was much cheaper. The acid in it just burns those suckers right off.

My daughter had a couple frozen - the first time a plantar wart. It didn't work and it grew very large. She was a very little girl at the time and they had to surgically remove it. The next time was last year and she had to have on removed from her finger. Again they froze it off and again it grew much larger and still again they had to cut it out. Only this time they didn't have to put her to sleep because she's all grown up. Not sure why freezing doesn't work for her. If it happens again I'll have to tell her to try the vinegar.

My son had plantars wart between his 2 toes hard to getto, we put liquid bandaid on no tape or anything difficult spot,gone in no time Im guessing it suffocated the wart.

If you have seed warts you have to be careful where you put your hands. LOL

Two of my kids have been besieged with warts :(

I took my daughter to a dermatologist several times to have them frozen off. The 2nd or 3rd time, he put her on a prescription for 1 month. She still gets them, though. Now she uses the medicated "band-aids", and they are quite effective.

My youngest son is following in her footsteps...I just had him to the Dr. for the 2nd time to have warts frozen off. The Doctor talked about over-the-counter treatments, and his recommendation was the band-aids. But, for some reason my son cannot keep them on. So the doctor recommended the Compound W (paint it on like fingernail polish). He is using that on the warts he didn't get frozen off (too much pain!)

I will certainly tell both of them about the apple cider vinegar. It's so much cheaper, and I'll bet it works as good as the other stuff!

My adopted childs Grandmother could remove them. Not sure how..but she'd rub them and the whole time, she was saying something under her breath. 2 days later the warts fell off!

There's an old wives tale about "buying" someones warts. You can pay them a penny and it still works. Give them the money and they're suppose to hide it. The down side of this is, if you buy someones wart..YOU get the wart. Worked for a friend of mine. Her DH "bought" her wart...hers did go away and he had one come up on him....but I'm not even going to tell you where it showed up on HIM! That was probably 40yrs ago and he'd kill her today if he knew she'd told me about it! LMBO

lol,always heard frogs gave you warts :o)

When DH and I got married he had dozens of warts on both hands. On one finger was one a little larger than the others, he started taping it so no air got to it and it wasn't long before all of them disappeared and he's never had any since, that was 50 years ago.
