Warts , please help me get rid of them.

[Marne]

I started with one wart on my index finger a year ago but in the past month they have spread all over my finger and now onto the next finger , i have tried feezing them with no success, my fingers are starting to look like warty old witch fingers, are there any other products i can try? I have eczema on my hands and have used a lot of steroid creams in the past which is possibly whats caused them.

Go to your GP and they will freeze them off. Their freezing stuff is at a much lower temp than the over the counter product.

Will it be painful? I have around 10 warts (some very tiny), i am a wimp .

No it is not painful, just very cold for a split second. Doc dips a Q tip in the freeze and merely touches the warts. Take a paracetamol 20 mins before you get seen but it is not like an injection or anything

I was convinced that my wart came from picking up toads in the garden...

I was just reading earth clinic on google about warts and the most successful treatment is Apple Cider Vinegar (you just put it on with a cotton bud).

I have used tea tree oil with success as well.

Duct tape works too as it contains salicylic acid but you have to keep it on for weeks.

This will have you thinking I'm a new age loon (I'm not, honestly) but I had about 15 on one hand when I was a teenager, and I was mortified about them. Miriam Stoppard (who I usually loathe) was on the radio, talking abut how because they are caused by a virus (or something) they will only properly go once your body has developed its immunity to tell them to shove off. She did recommend an old loon's tale about licking each one, every morning, first thing, before eating or drinking or brushing teeth.

I tried it. Within a week, every one had gone, all just fallen off like dry skin, and I've never had one since.

Not sure if i could put cider vinigar on them as it will sting my eczema. I think i will have to go to my Gp, 2 of the warts are quite big (and getting bigger). I will just have to be brave .

Tea tree oil is much kinder than ACV and that might help yr. eczema too!

the GP will freeze them off which doesn't work very well. Look at the earth clinic on google it gives all the info.

I have had 2 very big ones for years now. One on my little toe which is literally covering half my toe and v deep and one on my finger next to the nail all down one side.

I too have tried everything but my clinic won't freeze warts anymore.
