I've had it years. I've tried wartner numerous times now and it did nothing. Also one which was supposed to freeze it off, a layer came off but that was it. I've tried duct tape and banana skin. I've tried filing it down. It is still there. It is on my finger and my hands are on show a lot. I hate it!

I have got a layer of nail polish on it now to starve it of oxygen.

Any other recommendations?

Warts do disappear on their own when your lazy arse body gets round to making anti bodies. You obviously credit the last thing you tried. I burnt one of my finger with liquid nitrogen, I worked in a lab, but God did it hurt! I think you've really got to go for it though, no little spray. things

I asked this question on here a few years ago for my sons verucca.
I took the advice given and painted it with black nail polish, kept it covered with the nail polish and then one day it just fell off.

I was amazed. We had tried pretty much everything before this.

Can't remember how long it took now, maybe a couple of weeks, but it really did work. You need to keep it covered though, I think I painted it every other night

My mum used to buy them too. Give her a silver coin, she would rub it and it would be gone within days...

Tea tree oil or Tamanu oil (Vanuatu tea tree) consistently works for skin tags and warts in our family.

I don't understand this thread at all. Why haven't any of you got them done with liquid nitrogen? Surely that's a standard treatment?

We've found liquid nitrogen to be pretty unhelpful been treated several times and no change.

Daughter had a dozen on each knee

Used normal strength Bazuka gel exactly as described .....it said 'every day'.....bad advice

After 2 months made no difference and/or worse as to get it off each day it would often bleed

The trick is to do it every 3 days or 4....gives child's thin skin time to repair underneath.... Keep checking every day though so any of the white cream may need topping up ....I also did as per instructions and did it after soaking in water (out of bath)....did a light file with nail file once a week
They are now quite flat and almost gone after 2 months

Will people stop posting about "paying /buying warts off people with 50p etc"

Just a stupid insensitive comment to make when parents and kids are genuinely upset by a medical issue
