Wart! How do I get rid?

I have a smallish wart on the palm of my left hand and I've been using Occlusal, paint it on, file it, repeat til its gone. Well its still there 4 weeks later:(

Really really want to get rid as I had verrucas on my feet for years and tried everything to get rid and it took me to have a baby for 'my chemistry to change' or so my GP said!

So do I just bite the bullet and get my GP to freeze the wart or is there any other remedies I could try?

duct tape during the night and a plaster during the day. You can also paint it with black nail varnish. Should go in a couple of weeks.

I had a verruca and used duct tape both day and night because I could 'hide' it, went in 2 weeks.

sorry - meant paint with nail varnish and put a plaster over it. Effectively starve it off light and air and the virus can't survive.

Excellent!! Thank very much. I'll send dh to his Man Cave to find duct tape for me! Smile
