DD (8) has one on the scalp since August, we were hoping it’ll go away on its own, but now there are 3 more small ones around it!!

Does apple cider vinegar work on Filiform warts?

My DD had loads a couple of years ago. The worst one was under her eye. Nothing worked - thuja, apple cider vinegar (with the mother in), dandelions, aspirin in water etc. DH finally used a freezing treatment on it (you can't use Bazuka on the face) and it went away.

She did get more of them, in her nose, under her eyebrow, but they went after the freezing treatment anyway.

Filiform warts really are strange. The huge one under her eye looked like fingers.

What’s this freezing treatment? Is it available over the counter?

Sorry it brought up a long link, you can also get it from Amazon, it's just called wart freeze removal.

Probably not the answer you’re looking for, but what finally got rid of persistent warts for me was a bad dose of covid. I bieve that the immune response to the virus also kills the wart virus.

@Not19foreverpullyourselftogether I got warts last year (having never had them, even when DD was riddled with them), yet Covid didn't shift them for me. I wonder if it's due to hormones, DD got hers just prior to menarche, me just prior to menopause. Glad it worked for you though!
