Warts on fingers: give me all the advice you’ve got!!!!

[Noddle2015]

Desperate for some advice. I have had the odd wart on my finger since a child. Lately they’ve gotten terrible and GP refuses to do anything about it. I have tried the home feezing, bazzoka gel, filing it off. Everytime I try something they multiply. I cry nearly everyday just hoping I will find something to get rid of them, I have at least 12 on one hand grouping with one another and I feel like I am at my whits end. Please someone tell me the thing they have done that’s worked and got rid of them once and for all 😭

You could try Thugia tablets (homeopathic remedy.)
Worked for my daughters verruca

I had a wart on my finger for years when I was a teenager, nothing got rid of it
In the end it just went
Same for my brother (both hands covered)
They all went in the end

I agree with @teaandtoastwithmarmite - tea tree oil did the trick for me (bazuka and filing just made it painful)

This is a bit like the banana skin or apple cider vinegar approach, ask on your local facebook group if anyone has a kombucha scoby to share - or you could buy one from here.. https://happykombucha.co.uk/collections/heirloom-kombucha-scoby. the funny shaped ones are cheap. Then you cut off a small piece and tape it to the wart, at night - we have used plasters but duck tape is better!! My kids have had success with this method, when combined with homeopathy - thuja as mentioned by another poster an also another remedy which I would have to look up..

Were her nails lifting at the edges? I have what I think is a wart under my pinky nail and its lifting at the side from the cuticle. Tried Bazooka and no joy.

i had a wart years ago. Didn’t shift with chemicals. Wasn’t really bothered about it.

I was flossing my teeth and realised I’d got the floss wound too tight round my finger to the extent the tip of the finger where the wart was had gone white. The wart fell off a couple of days later. Could be a coincidence of course but it’s a pretty easy thing to try. I don’t recommend cutting off the circulation to all your fingers at once, or the whole length of any one finger but could be worth a try with any at the finger tip ends, one at a time?

Potato. Slice a small bit off and rub the white bit on the wart. Store the rest of the potato in the fridge and repeat the process daily.

Witch Hazel applied daily got rid of mine. I had over 40 on my hands

Pick a flower and rub the wart with the broken end of the stem

This is no help at all but you have just reminded me that as a child we were taken to a ‘woman’ in the village who ‘charmed’ them off. I so wish I could remember it and if it worked. She was scary.

Probably not for everyone, but I ended up performing home surgery and cutting mine out with nail clippers 🤣 they never came back!

I can only tell you what worked for me…

i had a wart on my thumb, and tried everything Google, the pharmacy and the GP could offer with no luck. Had it removed and came back bigger than ever. Thought I would have to live with it.

For another reason entirely I started taking a Fenugreek supplement, and within a few weeks I was wart free.

I’m not saying it’ll work for you - and I know from experience the frustration of unsolicited advice on things like this - but it did for me.

No they were at the bottom of the nails in clusters

Thank you very much everyone for all of your advice. I truly appreciate it you all taking the time out to help me.

I have ordered some tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar and elections tape and l-lysin tablets.

if no luck I have plenty of more methods to try thanks to everyone’s suggestions.

It might not be helpful because I don't know if it's still available in the UK. Years and years (maybe early 2000s) I had several warts on my hands and one on my ankle and some verrucas. I was seeing a psychiatrist at the time, but she suggested an ointment called posalfilin. It smelled vile but I treated 2 or 3 of the warts on my hands with it and within a few weeks, all of them went away, and the verrucas, even the ones I hadn't directly treated. It might be worth exploring if it's available online.

Homeopathy. I’d been plagued for years and they all disappeared overnight. It was the weirdest thing

My Gran used to recommend cutting an onion in half, rubbing on wart and burying it (onion not wart!)

I had a big one on my thumb and several around my fingernails (back when the GP would treat them). The nurse froze them for me in the surgery. I had it done 3 times. The first 2 times, it was relatively painless. The 3rd time, she absolutely blasted them. It was REALLY painful, but I insisted she keep going. She was a bit hesitant due to how much it hurt.

The 3rd, very painful, time was a charm. Within 2 weeks, they'd gone. First the big daddy one on my thumb, followed by the others. They've never come back.

I appreciate you can't get this done on the NHS now, but could you get it done privately?
