There are many ways to remove warts. However for some wonderfully strange reason, it is the cheapest, most painless, quickest, and least destructive method that works best. I've had them frozen (ineffective and painful), cauterized (effective but very painful and very destructive, long healing time), and surgically removed (moderately effective and painful, and long healing), used acids (painful, ineffective, timely), and even herpes medications (embarassing, timely, messy) but the best treatment is actually something you can do at home.

It sounds too good to be true, but after trying to solve my plantar wart problem for ten years, I got desperate, and to my complete surprise, this works wonderfully. And it's pretty much free.

Things you'll need: sandpaper, pummice or scalpel, Duct Tape, and a banana.

Steps:

1. Peel banana, then eat it (eating is optional), save peel.

2. Look at your wart, if it is heavily callused, try to cut or sand the skin down a bit (if it starts bleeding, that is plenty).

3. Cut a square of banana peel that is a little larger than the surface area of your wart.

4. Place the peel directly on wart and cover liberally with duct tape (use plenty of tape, and place the peel inside side to the skin).

5. Leave on overnight, or as long as it stays on.

6. The wart should begin to turn white so you'll see it better.

7. Depending on the size/deepness, keep sanding it down or slicing off the dead skin, and reapplying the peel/tape daily or as needed.

8. Eventually (for small warts it could be as little as a few days, larger ones might take weeks) you'll go to scrape off the dead skin and find no warty tissue left, only healthy pink stuff. I usually do the peel/tape for one more day after this point just to be sure.

9. Enjoy and take care of your newly wart-free pain-free skin!

It's ridiculous how well this has worked for me and how all the other methods have been expensive and failed. Hope it helps!

How do toads get warts?

Since toads don't cause warts - this is a well-known fact, don't bother thinking otherwise - you don't need to do anything to get rid of warts from toads. No need to remove what you haven't got. You might still have warts though, only you've gotten them from someplace else. Usually another human. It's easy to get rid of warts.
