Have you ever personally killed a wart with duct tape

[IHaveTheLurgy]

What did it look like as you were doing it? Did it get smaller? Change colour? How long did it take to go?

I was having it treated professionally but obviously can't now.

Thanks :)

Following with interest thanks for starting the thread.

I had a Verruca for about three years once, I’d tried all of the over the counter remedies and nothing worked. I cut off some banana peel and stuck it to the Verruca using duct tape every night for a week, it dropped off and never returned.

I've already done this longer than a week and no difference. I did it with vinegar before but nothing then either

Not warts, but very persistent large verrucas that even cryotherapy didn't fix. I was gobsmacked it worked, but it did

I had a persistent verrucca and tried dandelion juice under duct tape, it worked a treat.

I am current,y murdering two persistent veruccas with duct tape. Ther look very angry and have gone an odd colour. Bastards.

Cider vinegar on cotton wool and covered with a plaster at night. Burns to hell and eventually turns black but it works.

Corn plaster left on for a week or more sorted a persistent verruca! Was so satisfying to finally be rid!

I put nail varnish on ds's verrucas and they disappeared really quickly, within about a week.

Not with duct tape but got rid of several with black nail varnish.

If you have tea tree oil then use that, applied to the wart with a cotton bud (try not to get any on surrounding skin). I cleared a very persistent and stubborn wart that way. Took maybe a week, I think, possibly two.

I tried and it didn't work for me.

Here you go, it is a virus...

Yep, two verrucas. Took about three weeks - I'd had one for years and it was so stubborn.

The skin went soft and pale, the verruca looked bigger, I'd cut it back (not til it bled or anything) with angled nail/cuticle clippers and then cover it back up. It just wasn't there one day and hasn't come back.

A verruca

DS had the mother of all verrucas - god it was awful. We tried all the over-the-counter things, and went to the doctors and got the strong stuff. Every day, soak, file, paint... for months and months (if not years). Then we stopped doing all this and it cleared up.

Recently used a natural remedy called Thuja on a wart, it's miraculous.

File off dead skin then apply iodine. It works.

Yes! Well on dd1, had to keep the tape in place for about 3 weeks with verucca went white and then I could ‘push’ it off in the bath.

I picked at it, put on Bazooka stuff, kept it strictly covered with a plaster and it came out by the root after a week or so.

This is super strange. We were brought up in the middle of the moors. As a teen I had loads of warts on my hands. And I was advised by an elderly woman from further up the hill to go and see Mr C. A known " wart charmer" as my parents had no interest in taking me to the doctor, I manufactured a reason to go. The old woman had told me I mustn't ask him to remove them, so I just made sure he saw them.

After years of hiding my hands to avoid being teased at school, within a month they had gone. Never to return. I can NOT explain this.

Yes, took several months, it went yellow and dropped off eventually

and there I was thinking he'd killed a wasp

Really should go to Specsavers

Dandelion juice got rid of mine too. I didn’t use duct tape though. Just the foamy white juice from dandelion stalk.

It was 30 years ago but still. I’d had them for a couple of years, the dandelion juice made them go black and then they went. I still have the “ghost” of one on my little finger tip.
