Worked on my huge plantar wart like a miracle. Took 1 month of applying, almost gave up, thought that was stupid stopped using it and the wart died after 2 or 3 days, was amazed. Had already went to doctor who was painfully freezing it for about 3 months with no success, had tried over the counter stuff with no success. Then my daughter caught plantar wart, 2 little ones, were gone after using banana peel, for about a week, they fell off, was amazing to watch how. U should replace the banana peel every day, it is kind of stupid, but works. It works. Oh my wart was huge, 2 cm by 1 cm, did not believe it will resolve, thanx to this site my wart is gone.

Our son (4) got 2 warts this summer at day camp... Swimming and barefoot time maybe? Anyway they were painful and so I started googling it and found this site. We tried a piece of the inside peel under duct tape but the tape fell off in his sleep. Tried it again a week later with a bandaid (scraped the inside of the peel)... The bandaid fell off in an hour or two. Was going to try again and saw today (2 weeks later) as I was putting his sock on, that they are both healed! Gone! Amazing! Really amazing! Thank you!!

I promised myself that I'd post about this if it worked, so...

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.

I read on here about putting banana peel on your wart to kill it. I'm telling you, it is not only the least expensive but the most effective treatment I've tried. In just days a wart on my finger turned black and came off, root and all. I would scrape on the white part of the banana peel and set it on the band-aid and wear it all night (since it was on my hand I couldn't wear it and wash hands during the day). Just the night wearing did the trick. Now my 3 yr old has his first wart on his finger and it actually took like 2 1/2 weeks of the treatment before I finally saw the wart turn black, but it still worked. To move things along I did cut all the deadness off the top of the wart and then apply the banana treatment.

To my big frustration the banana peel miracle did not work for the warts on my foot. I applied religeosly the banana peel once aday and put a medicinal tape around it so there was an air seal for about 2 weeks. I have to admit that the pain from the wart got better. Though there were new warts appearing and I have to decide that it is not working for me. Besides I got skin reaction to the tape and my foot feels sore all over and I can not use the tape anymore.

Is there any particularities with a type of banana you put on the wart? Somebody mentioned green banana. Does it it mean a peel from a regular banana that did not ripe yet or I have to use some sort of banana that always stays green, lake plantane?

I would just like to say thank you, I developed a wart on the end of my nose in February this year and was devastated by it. In desperation I searched for a non-surgical remedy for this and using a search of 'natural cures for warts' found this site.

Three weeks ago I started rubbing the offending wart with the inside of a banana skin every night and after 10 days the wart blackened and has now gone!

I do not know what scientific evidence there is to support this but it worked for me.

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Banana peel worked for me. I had three warts under my nails in three different fingers. After two weeks of applying banana peel on it, it was totally gone.

Ten years of plantar warts. Surgery, freezing, cauterization, acids... None of them worked, all of them hurt. Finally got desperate, never been a fan of "hoaky" remedies, and low and behold banana peel and duct tape works better than ANYTHING! And the best part, is that it causes NO PAIN! Just a gift to anyone who has had them for a long time and relied on the failing medical community for help. For once, I love my hoaky remedies!

OK, I will admit I am a skeptic. I started using the banana peel 48 hours ago. I have 3 warts. 2 on my right hand, and a plantars wart on my foot. My plantars wart seems to have reacted to the banana peel as there is now a small hole in my foot. No black dots, but I don't believe it is gone as alchohol and vinegar have no pain effect to the hole. If it was down to raw flesh I am sure I would feel it. The 2 on my hand don't look much different as of yet. A little softer when I first take the band aid off, but color, size, etc are about the same. I will post my results after a couple weeks.

Banana peel worked wonders! I had Plantar warts for years and nothing I tried would even remotely work. I read about the banana peel on EARTHCLINIC and tried it on the cluster of 4 warts on my foot and the one wart on my toe. I just carved out a small piece of the inside of the banana, sometimes I left the peel on sometimes I wouldn't, and used band-aids to attach them to the warts. I left it on as long as it would stay, and if it fell off early I would reapply later.

Well after just a few days the black spots in the middle of the warts started to raise and the warts were smaller. After about 2 weeks of this process daily the warts just fell out. There was a small hole where they were which healed over later. This was a year ago and they are still gone!! Thank you so much for this cure, it was amazing!

I used ripe banana peels on my daughters feet. I put the banana peel on the bottom of her foot at night, covered it with a plastic bag, and then slipped on a sock to keep it in place. They were gone in about a week. It was amazing and worked so much better than those OTC products.

I tried this for quite some time, with only very marginal results. Then I switched to pharmaceutical salicylic acid, and the wart was gone within a couple of weeks. Note, however, that I'm not so much knocking this method as I am making people aware of another method. Warts are weird, and the success of various treatments seem to wildly differ between different people.

Hi. Great website. I read the banana peel cure for plantar warts and it really does work. It helped my plantar warts on my foot that I have had for 4 years but.... Liquid Bandage worked better. The reason these warts are dying is because they are being smothered by the duct tape. They need Oxygen. What I did was rub the banana peel on the area, wash it off, dried it and applied 2 coats of New Skin (liquid bandage). A huge wart and 5 smaller ones were gone in 4 days. I cut away all the dead skin with a razor blade every morning, applied 2 coats and that was it. The roots turned black and fell off. Then I applied the liquid bandage to the holes left by the root and they filled in super fast. The liquid bandage is also an anti-septic. Thanks.

I also removed my plantar warts but it still does not remove the virus that is inside our bodies also that which causes the warts.

I have had a planters wart on the pad of my foot now for 3 months. Where the wart is positioned is really causes pain to the point that I can't place pressure while walking, so not only am I in pain for the wart but my entire foot is not aching due to me walking on the side of my foot to prevent the pressure. I have had acid treaments and went to the doctors and had the freeze treaments. After no success and horrible pain I decided to try the natural way! So at night I started with the banana peel and in the morning I am appyling the Apple Cider Vinegar. I am noticing results right away. In just 2 days!! The skin around the wart is turning white with dead skin, and I can see an underlying darkness starting to appear. The wart has started to move closer to the surface... This is amazing. I just keep removing the outer dead skin and reapplying the steps. I bought a corn remover at the store and I soak my foot then carefully remove the dead skin with the corn razor. Once thats done apply the banana peel. I know this sounds crazy but save yourself the money and time and give these remedies a try.

Unbelieveable!
