How to Remove Wart Suggestions and Home Remedies
There are two types of products around that can be used to remove warts.
1. Adhesive pads which have been treated with salicylic acid.
2. A bottle of concentrated salicylic acid.
When using either of these methods to remove warts there is a strict regime that must be adhered to. Before applying the salicylic acid, the area must be cleaned throughly and any dead skin removed using a pumice stone or emery board. Unfortunately warts do not disappear over night and it can take up to 12 weeks for you to remove a stubborn wart.
Another over the counter product which can be used for removing warts is silver nitrate which comes in the form of a caustic pencil and is available for drugstores. With this method of treatment it generally takes between 3 to 6 daily treatments for it to be effective and the instructions provided with the product must be followed to the letter in order to minimise any staining to your skin or clothing. This is something that needs to be done intelligently.
You could try duct tape occulsion therapy which involves you placing a piece of duct tape (or medical tape) over the area that is affected for 1 week at a time. It is identical to the procedure when using salicylic acid adhesive pads. Studies carried out have shown that the duct tape method is 85% effective in removing warts.
Some other household rememdies which you may wish to try in order to remove warts include such items as banana skins, vinegar, hot water and washing up liquid, unskinned potatoes which are applied to the affected area. However there are varying accounts as to how long these items must be applied on to the affected area for and how long it will take for them to effectively work. Without any controlled studies being carried out in respect to these types of household remedies ,it is very difficult to know whether the wart(s) has disappeared because the remedy has worked or whether they have disappeared because the person's immune system has responded to and attacked the virus causing the problem.
The success you will achieve on how to remove wart(s) depends on actually following the instructions provided with any treatments that you try.

Post a CommentWarts can generally be cured through using over-the-counter remedies from the drug store. Dermatologists also offer different surgical procedures to remove warts quickly. http://www.moleorwartremoval.com/how-to-remove-wart
Try dry Ice! It works best If you cut the outer skin of your wart. Apply the dry ice and press the dry ice on the center of your wart as hard as you can tolerate. Slowly dig the wart out of your skin, might bleed a little bit, If bleeding do not worry, press with dry ice again the center of your wart. You should get a chunk of meat (wart) easily after. You will see a small crater like on your skin after the wart has been remove no bleeding, If bleeding after wart has been remove, press with dry ice, that will stop the bleeding. Apply enough petroleum jelly or lotion on the area where wart was before and cover with bandage. Clean and disinfect the wart area everyday. You're skin will grow back after at least a week and within a month the crater should be gone, depends how deep or big your wart is. Although this is guaranteed that It work and a very little pain only, IT'S ALWAYS BEST TO CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR! DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU HAVE A HEART PROBLEM!
We did the salycylic acid thing along with the freezing spray on my sons' plantar wart. It took a few weeks and was REALLY nasty...but eventually it came off.
