Combat Warts Naturally: Top Remedies Ranked for Effectiveness

My wife & I had a couple of warts for about 5 years and tried everything under the sun to get rid of them. We used the Apple Cider Vinegar solution and it worked GREAT for both of us. We took a small cotton ball about the size of the wart top, placed this onto 3M tape, taped the cotton ball over the wart, poked a hole in the top thru the tape, placed an eye dropper thru the hole with a few drops of ACV, did this a couple of times a day and within 5 days the wart turned black and was gone in about a month after the root grew out.

Apple Cider Vinegar - why don't doctors know about this for warts? My daughter had over 20 warts on the bottom of her left foot. I tried all the stuff from the drug store but all they did was hurt the skin around the wart. The doctor tried to freeze them off but that did not work and was very painful for my 10 year old. The next step was to go to a dermatologist. Luckily though I read about the vinegar cure in the local newspaper and then searched on line to see if anyone else had any success with it. I read how they applied it and did the following each night. First due to the severity of the wart problem I used cotton balls soaked in Apple Cider viegar and bandage tape to secure them to the bottom of the foot every night. After a few days several of them began turning black. We kept going with it even though when the wart started to die it could be really itchy and sometimes sore. It never hurt the good skin though. Sometimes I would skip a day or two. After a couple of weeks almost half of the warts were gone. The warts that were in the middle of the foot that were really deep took about 13 weeks to finally completely die and go away. My daughters very last wart was gone this morning! Unbelievale! All the money I spent and all it took was a $2 bottle vinegar and some cotton balls and patience! My daughter is so happy that she doesn't have to hide her feet anymore! I think I will email the doctor to let her know a real cure!

My friend's son at age twelve had many warts on the palms of his hands which caused him much embarassment. I told him that I would 'buy' them from him. I put a pile of coins (approx $3) on a shelf in his mother's kitchen. I told him that now that I had bought his warts they would soon disappear and then he could take the money and use as he wanted. Took about a month. Warts all gone!

I am female, 20 years young. I have had a wart on my hand for about 8 years. I've had it frozen off around 5 or 6 times. One time by a dermatologist who promised it wouldn't come back. Welllll she was wrong, because it came back bigger and times 3. Not a happy camper, I got to the point where I decided I was going to let it go and hope it falls off. Well, that didn't happen, I got sick of my large wart on the top of my hand for everyone to see, so I tried Apple Cider Vinegar. I would put it on a cotton ball with a large band-aid over it and would do this at night. The pain was too much so I quit doing that. After a while, the warts spread. So 6 months later I decided I was sick of it again only this time I was going to stick it out the whole time. I did the same routine only I would wear a band-aid with tape around 24/7. At times the pain was so much I wanted to cry. It was eating not only the warts, but also my skin in the area of the band-aid. It looked SOOOO disgusting. I would pick at it, and try and get the wart out and it would not budge. It also made new baby warts appear. I was at my wits end! I had been doing this consistently for 7 days. I started out with only doing it at night then for the last 3 days I did it all day. The pain was way too excruciating that I just gave in. It was obviously working, I could see the actual wart, but it hurt too much I booked an appointment to once again get it frozen off. Well, hallelujah!!!!! Today, I took the band-aid off and touch it, I picked the scap/wart and it came off!!!!!!!!! YAYE I am so excited and I recommend this to anyone with a wart, the only thing that I really recommend is to stick it out or else they might spread. If you have any questions feel free to ask me I would love to help fellow wart suffers!!! God Bless

So I have been doing the apple cider vinegar for about 5 days now. Putting a soaked cotton ball on the wart on my hand with tape at night and just a band aid during the day.

The wart is not angry brown and white and a little black on the edges and the surronding area is raw red. Is this how the wart should look when being treated? Should I keep going? Help!!!!!

Sounds like to me if you put apple cider vinegar on a mole or a cut and wrap it - you would burn it.

I've had my wart for over a year now and I've tried duofilm and other over counter liquids which just burns the top skin and surrounding skin off. I'm so glad I've found this website as now I've treated the wart on my index finger for 4 nights with a cotton bud soaked with ACV fastened with a bandaid. As I'm writing this I've just pulled of the black scabby bit to reveal a red fleshy hole and I'm pretty sure this will heal to be wart free. The wart burned and throbbed for the initial 2 nights but I thought it was bearable pain. As my wart was not pertruding cos I kept filing and cutting it, I didnt have a clear idea of where or how big the wart is. It just kept coming back. But I believe the ACV only reacted with the wart which turned it black and hardens it. I'm hoping I will have a normal finger back within the next week or so. Thank so much for this website!

My 12 year old son had a huge planters wart on the sole of his foot. His Dr. recommended duct tape. Every night I put new tape on. Just on the wart. Every night when I took off the tape he would dig out the dead skin. one week later the huge wart was gone. He had a big hole which healed up nicely. ONE WEEK! PRETTY COOL! I guess the tape cuts off the air supply to the wart and it dies.

I soaked my feet in epsom salts to relieve the pain of a broken toe. to my surprise the warts I had on my lower legs for years fell off as I toweled my foot dry. what pleasant surprise.

WORKED TEMPORARILY

I tried the ACV remedy on my daughters plantar warts. They swelled up and turned white all around the wart and the black seed was visible. I thought the warts were "dead" and was happy with the results. However, it is now months later, and the white skin hasn't fallen off or changed. Should I do the ACV again? We have tried scraping the skin off, pumice stone etc., but not much changed. Any ideas?

Hey D! Great articles on ACV. I read alot but not all...not sure if anyone mentioned ACV cures warts! Yes it's true! Soak the wart for 10 minutes to soften, apply a few drops of good natural ACV with mother to a bit of cotton and place on wart securing it with tape or bandaid... keep soaked in ACV daily until wart turns black on falls off- usually within 5-8 days...and that's it! 100% effective! Peace om om,

apple cidar vinegar is curing my wart. i have 3 warts on my hand one on my index finger one on my palm and the other on my knuckle.i went to the docter and trtied to get it frozen of 4 times but that never worked so one of my friends told me to try a bannana peel but that didn't work either. i then came to this site and saw the ACV treatment and im on my third day doing it and it is painful but im just glad it is working because it is black all over. so hopefully it will harden and fall off. ( im pretty sure it will!)

When I was around 12 or 13 I had a large wart at the base of my right thumb nail. I would pick it all the time till it bleed, because I hated how it looked and felt. I remember one day I was out walking for miles, picking my wart as usual, out of habit, when I suddenly got an idea. I thought, if I try to love my wart instead of hating it, what will happen? You guessed it, it went away in a few weeks never to return.

Remedy to kill plantar wart on foot. Ten years ago my son had a large plantar wart on the bottom of his foot so I decided to play Dr. and see what happened. The remedy I used is to soak the foot in very warm water (for about 15 minutes) right before bed, dry the foot completely, scrape top of wart gently with a knife, apply alcohol and let dry, apply any drugstore wart remover solution and let it dry, apply a bandaid, wrap in duct tape. Leave on until the following night and repeat nightly for six weeks. This remedy cured my sons plantar wart and it never came back! We were amazed. Consistancy is the key for success in using this remedy. This remedy can also be done immediately after the bath. Hope this remedy helps.

As a child, I had persistant warts on my left hand, I had about 5-6 that wouldn't go away. My mother told me to rub a penny on them. So I did and they went away.

I used to have warts on the back of both hands. One day someone said to soak raw potato in white vinegar and then put on wart. Do this for 3-7 days and the wart will come off. It worked great and has for a number of others I have shared with. Make sure the potato covers only the wart or your skin will get burned. Potato only needs to soak for an hour or so

I noticed this wasn't mentioned. I use to have 2 warts near the base of my right thumb. They didn't hurt or irritate, but I hated that everone used to either cringe at them or ask me if the warts were painful when they saw the warts. The wart remover plasters never worked. I read from somewhere that nail polish can help to remover warts, so I gave that a try. I applied clear nail polish to the warts, repplying every so often to ensure that there was always a coating over the warts. The nail polish is a lot less noticable than a wart remover plaster is! I can't remember how long it took (probably just a month or so), but one day as I prepared to reapply the nail polish, I noticed that the warts were GONE. Not a single trace of them was left, and there was absolutely no scaring. The skin looked perfectly normal! I was so happy! It's been 3 years since then, and the warts have not come back.
