I bit one off once. It looked like a tiny white broccoli floret.

I bought some tea tree essential oil today to see if that will work on mine.

But if it doesn't I have lots of other suggestions here, so thanks for starting the thread!

And a total hijack ..... Jumpingbeans - I haven't seen you around for ages. Was it you who goes to Polperro for New Year?

i was talking about this yesterday in fact
they used to have a wart book at the chemist and they wrote down your name in it and the wart would allegedly go
or, you could get someone to 'buy' it from you
the old folk cures are classic aren't they?

this one sounds fun:

"One of the most bizarre folk medicine cures for warts involves taking a dead cat to a graveyard at midnight, the witching hour. As soon as you hear a noise, you are supposed to throw the cat in the general direction of the sound. It was believed that the sound came from the devil. As the cat is thrown, the person throwing it must say, "Cat follow the devil and warts follow the cat." "

My mum used to say wee was the best cure. She had loads on her hands and they went went my sister was born. She always said it was because she was washing her nappies by hand!

Bit extreme though!

my cat shat in the bath yesterday

I would quite like to throw him into a graveyard at midnight, especially if it gave me nice blemish-free skin
