As said ...I hav/had a big acluster wart on my thumb for ages.
Tried lots of things ...it is always under a plaster.

I ran out of plasters a week ago and all I had was a Blisteze (sp) blister plaster.

I put it on as wart was dry and bleeding .

Well ...under the plaster now feels smooth.
I have had a quick look ( plaster still on )

It is now moist but the big lumps have gone !!

I feel I am so close to getting rid of this bastard thing that I need to know what to do when I take plaster off.

Just any type of wart stuff ?

I know the root is still there ...I feel I want a simple dab on thing with another plaster over it ??

Duct tape, like the serial killer tape. Cover and every time it comes off after shower or bath, put a new one. Wart should be gone in a month (and even less in personal experience)
It works better than freezing as you can read here pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12361440/

That's the thing .
It is off so to speak ...but I am sure the root will still be there ?

Do I just keep starving it ?

Warts have no roots.

If the blisteze plaster is working then keep using them!

Warts are caused by a virus....one day eventually your immune system wakes up and they just disappear

Ooh useful tips. DS2 has been plagued with warts for years. I will pass it on to him.

Apple cuernavaca vinegar. Apply on a cotton wool with a plaster one. Change every night. Works for me for a stubborn wart who despite going to doctor to get it freeze it did not make any change.

Wartner finally got rid of mine! Took a few applications and I held it on for longer than it said but it fucked off.
