Dr's cure for a wart? Duck Tape.

[nothinginthefridge]

Just that really. Apparently the glue in the duck tape that does something!

If something can't be mended with Duck Tape, then it is not worth mending.

I've heard it works. For veruccas too I think.

There have been threads on warts in the past with posters recommending duct tape. Along with banana skin.

Yep, it cured my very stubborn verrucas beautifully.

Duct tape sticks like shit to a blanket is very adhesive, so doesn't fall off like other wart/verruca plasters. DH found it very effective and it stopped him undertaking home surgery with his Dremel.

You only need a small bit. You don't need to wrap your DS's whole foot in it like I did apparently.

There is a great blog from someone I know experimenting with this. No pus, but it's almost worth the KLAXON.

DD1 was recommended duct tape by our GP too

I only wrapped it round twice. To be fair, he did mention it was "uncomfortable".

Dremel, DSs verruca....why didn't I think of that before?

I am liking the nail varnish idea in that blog, might try it on ds's verruca

It is supposed to strangle the wart by suffocating it and not allowing air & light to it. Not sure if that is right, but makes sense in a way :)

or one drop of tea tree and one drop of lime oil then bandaid. Also what really works but don;t do it if skin is broken (as is then incredibly painful!), apple cider vinegar, then bandage. Works a treat. Bit stinky though. Both take a couple of weeks.
