In mid-June I started noticing these little circular fluid-filled bumps under my skin on my fingers. There were only a few of them, and while they were pesky, I was able to 'break' them. Once I did that, they usually disappeared, so I didn't think anything of it. It didn't even occur to me that they were warts of any kind.

About a month later, on a random whim, I looked at the bottom of my right foot and noticed a tiny little bump very similar to the ones I'd had on my hand. I tried to do the same thing and 'pop' it, but all I succeeded in doing was causing myself pain. The bottom of the foot is a totally different surface!

Anyway, I left it alone and a week later it suddenly became very sore and it felt like I was walking with a pebble in my shoe. When I looked at it again I saw that it had gotten bigger and more pronounced. I started doing some research and discovered that it was a plantar wart.

I immediately started using Salycic acid pads. All this did was slough off the top layer of skin, but it never reached the core. All that happened was I was left with a huge white circle that was elevated an inch and a half off of the bottom of my foot. It became really painful to walk.

I tried freezing it next and combining it with salycic acid again. Did better, for sure, and I even thought that I had 'killed' it at one point. As soon as I stopped, it was obvious within a few days that it was still there. Now it was covered in small black dots.

I added duct tape into the mix and I saw a lot more success here, but it was taking forever and the skin beneath the tape became raw and made the wart even more painful to walk on.

I stumbled upon this treatment and was very, very skeptical, but figured it was worth a shot. I eat a lot of bananas, so I had peels ready. I would cut a piece of peel, make sure the area was clean and disinfected and that I had used a pumice stone when applicable, and I would simply place the peel over the wart and cover it up tight with duct tape and go about my day as normal. I did this for the first time Friday night and every night since.

Friday morning, 1/4 of it fell off. Saturday morning, another 1/4. Sunday morning, the rest of it came out, core and all. Granted, now the area is red, a bit sore, and looks beat up from all of the different things I tried, but it's flat for the first time since July, and I can walk around as if it never happened. So yeah. If you've got warts, this is clearly the thing to do. I'm sure the other things I did beforehand softened it up, but the banana peel was the deathblow that ended it within a few days."
