What is the best home remedy for removing a wart?

One of the most commonly tried home remedies for warts is applying apple cider vinegar, some people soak a cotton ball, tape it over the wart, and leave it overnight. Others try using duct tape to slowly peel the wart layer by layer. While these methods might work for some, they're not always effective or safe for everyone, especially if the wart is painful or in a sensitive area. If it doesn’t improve, it’s best to check with a skin specialist like those at Manchester Aesthetics Clinic to avoid complications.

How do you remove a plantar warts?

Buy a wart remover from the store or go to the doctor.go to any local drusstore and by wart remover any old wart remover... it doesnt have to be for a plantar wartEither a person can go to a dermatologist to have it burned off with liquid nitrogen. Or, they can buy a product like, "Compound W". It is a formula of salycetic acid that slowly dissolves the hardened skin. Unfortunately, warts are a virus... no real cure that I know of. They will reoccur at times. Just have to keep up on them. I should also say, the person may want to seek medical advice to confirm that it really is a planters wart.try putting a banana peel on it every nightThere are over the counter treatments that are probably a good first stop. If they don't work (they do take some time) then you can try seeinga dermatologist who can suggest different methods.That can be tough. They tend to grow deep.One approach is just to soak it and use pumice or am emory board to lower the profile. This will not get rid of it but it will take the pressure off so that it will not hurt when walking on it.Because of the depth, unless it is very small, home and over the counter remedies usually will only temporarily reduce it and make it less painful (as above). Usually to get rid of it you need to have a doctor freeze it with liquid nitrogen or cut it out.Compound W wart treatment. It comes in a blue cardboard package. The main ingredient, salicylic acid, WORKS! Use the treatment once a day and used a pumice scrub occasionaly to file off the dead skin. The plantar warts should be gone in about a month and a half!
