Best way to get rid of warts.

markj

I have around 8 to 10 warts on my right hand of various sizes. I've tried the bazuka gel with not much success. what has worked for forum members with this problem.

Go to the doctor, get them frozen off.

Rub a potato in them and bury the potato. 


Or get them frozen off.

rub raw steak on them and feed it to a dog

Fire. Lots of it. 

It's the only way.

Cover with a waterproof plaster, leave for 4 weeks. It starves the wart of oxygen. When you peel the plaster off, your skin is whitey-pink and wrinkly, and the wart peels off with the plaster. Rest of skin recovers in a day or two. No chemicals, no burning, no cutting. Worked for me

Stop petting frogs then they'll go naturally...

You can do it with Gaffer tape. Works quicker, might be some chemical in the tape that aids the process. My old doctor recommended it.

Rub a guitar pick on it, then play Arthur Brown's "Fire"!

(Has anyone done the "Nuke it from orbit" joke yet?)

Or get the "at home" freezing kits. You can get one with 10 applications for less than a tenner from Boots. I have one on my toe which I am trying to get rid of. I kind of really like the feeling when I apply the frozen nitrogen to it. If it is old, it can take several applications in which case the doctor will probably be able to do it faster.

according to tom sawyer, it's a spud which you have to bury in a graveyard on the midnight of the funeral day of a murderer or other evil person. There is also an incantation, but I can't recall it.

Soldering iron.

It worked for me, after various trips to the doctor and treatments (including freezing) had failed.

It really hurt, smelt awful and required an extreme amount of determination to hold it on long enough to do the job though.


And that was just one wart... not sure I could manage it with ten.

That only works for you hard, north-of-the-border types.

Not possible for us softie Sassenachs.

Take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

My autistic son seems to just bite them off with no pain or ongoing problems, but then he casually told me once he thought he had heard his hand break st school, I took him to the doctors and he had broken three bones.

You could give it a whirl.

I did mine using a belt sander at work. It hurt like fuck and it grew back in the same place. I do not recommend that method.

I gave you a wis for that because you have clearly learned from it.

Bazuka does work but it takes ages. My son had loads of verrucas on his foot when he was younger, took about six months of determined effort to get rid of the bloody things with Bazuka. Eventually I found out his best mate had been to the gp and had his veruccas taken off with nitrogen (they went to the same swimming club)... apparently took about 10 minutes and it cleared up in a couple of days.

Apple cider vinegar and waterproof plaster.
