Vitamin E

Vitamin E worked wonderfully for my son, then in grade shool. He had a huge wart at the top of right palm.One evening he was really sick of it so before bedtime I just squeezed content of one vit E 400 capsule. He put sock on his hand not to stain bed sheets. In the morning there was no trace of it.

We (the ones that are believers in in FACTUAL remedies)... believe you.....NOT! Nothing happens overnight. Try again.

Try again what? Anyway it did happen overnight! No scab, no trace. I read once that warts are most responsive to your beliefs. If you believe that something, ANYTHING, will cure it, it will! I really believe in vit. E in skin disorders. And my son really believes in my skills. It worked beautifully!
Aspirin

Many years ago I discovered a remedy for warts. Take an aspirin and melt it with a small bit of water. Take a toothpick & take a small amount of the melted aspirin and put it right on the wart...do NOT get any on your skin (only on the wart) as it will eat the skin. Put a band-aid over it for a day or two...Then you may want to take the band-aid off. If the wart has turned black leave it alone. If it did not turn black put a bit more fresh aspirin on it & cover again for another day or two. Then take band-aid off & forget about it. You'll look one day shortly after & the wart will have disappeared...Just do NOT get the aspirin on the skin... Cathy
Aloe Vera

Just wanted to let you know that I have tried everything to get rid of a painful plantars wart that was on the bottom of my foot. I tried duct tape, ate tons of bananas, tried every OTC thing possible, even Tagament. I could hardly walk because the foot would hurt so bad. It would be red and painful by the end of the day. Finally tried aloe vera gel. I put it on one night and within two days, I noticed it did not hurt as bad. About a week later, I noticed I could walk without any pain and the wart had turned black. Almost two weeks later, the wart had dried up and I was able to take a pair of tweezers and pull it completely out. The wart is gone and my foot feels and looks normal except a little dry rough spot where the wart was, a small crater like hole where the wart was that is closing in. I am so happy and relieved as I had the wart for about four months.

Castor oil and baking soda worked on a wart I had had for 10 yrs!
Grapefruit Seed Extract
Posted by Robert (Salt Lake City, USA) on 01/13/2008
★★★★★
I had good results using Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE). I put a small amount on the tip of a Q-Tip and placed it directly on the wart. Be careful not to get too much on the skin surrounding it, as it will burn. If the wart is in a place where it will get covered with clothing, I'd cover it up with a bandaid. This doesn't take long at all. Two or three days should be enough.
Iodine

Just a note after reading send in other cures re iodine. When I was a teenager I developed warts; I never consulted anyone but started putting just a drop of iodine on the warts every day. After about 3 months (maybe less - that was 40 years ago) they turned black and fell off. I've never had another wart. (I've never had a boil either, and hope I never do, but my partner has been bothered by them for several weeks. We're trying several of the remedies on your website. Thanks! It's a great site.
Duct Tape

my gp doctor told me of this -- IT WORKS!! -- plantar warts (the warts most common on the bottom of the feet) cover them with duct tape and keep them covered with the tape for several days (mine took about three weeks) there is no pain or discomfort. i think the tape keeps the wart from getting air and thus it dies. at any rate, this works every time.
Duct Tape

Vaseline and duct tape cured a wart on my daughter's finger. I smothered the wart in vaseline and wrapped her finger in duct tape and left it on for a week.
Plasma Pen
Posted by Krusty (Thessaloniki - Greece) on 07/10/2025
★★★★★
Just use a plasma pen for warts. They are very cheap from China. There is no much pain. The energy from the arch is superficial. Don't use on exactly the same spot all the arches. Don't scratch the area aftewards. Leave it to heal. If the wart was big you can retry for the leftover after the first healing. I bought a plasma pen that doesn't use a battery in order to have more power and because batteries fail with time.

Wart Removal Tips
Posted by St (Eugene, OR) on 03/06/2021
★★★★☆
I am using a natural wart remover similar to ACV, on a wart right on my hairline, on my forehead. I also did a lot of research on do-it-yourself wart removal. In the past I have smothered a wart by simply putting a band-aid on it but can't do that with it being in my hairline. So I am simply applying the "cure" with a Q-tip several times a day. It's been a few weeks and it's going but I think I might also try the ACV.
What I wanted to stress is this will not be the same for everybody. People who have very fast results are lucky. I'm wondering if it may be something to do with the type of wart/mole. As for panicking over it being cancer, I wouldn't. My research indicated that the ones that turn really black and cause a hole, could be, but it will still work with perseverance.
It's paramount to be patient and not pick at it. I still think smothering is at least half the solution but, if you can't, like me, it still works but takes longer. Nothing works in exactly the same way for everybody. For some people (maybe me) it can take months. But I see it working. Just an interesting aside, my father used to do what we called "predict warts". People would show him a wart and he would say it would go away at such and such a time and I saw it work several times. I never had any for him to predict and he's gone now but warts--and people--are funny things. Maybe keep that in mind. But, mostly, be patient and don't let up.
Potassium, Zinc, or Vitamin D

Hi Missm,
Thank you for the tip on getting rid of warts!
You didn't say, but are you adding the Tagamet to the soak or taking it orally and how much are you using?
I agree with you, probably not good as a long term antiviral.

Lugol's Iodine
Posted by Teena (Australia) on 03/06/2019
★★★★★
Lugols iodine for wart:
My son over a long period slowly developed a wart. At first it was a hard bump, but skin colored, and not really bothersome, so I didn't know what it was. Eventually it turned very hard and brown, so diagnosis. Read through all warts postings, gave two zinc from food capsules, pinched the flesh from either side of the wart, these actions both boost immune system and show where the fight is needed. On two occasions about a day apart I had him sit awkwardly so I could put drops of iodine to saturate and allow them to soak in before moving. About 10 mins then dry enough to move.
Wart fell out cleanly a couple days after second treatment.
Banana Peel
Posted by Maya (Uae) on 03/13/2018
★★★★☆
I have already used the banana peel remedy before on my genital area and it worked fine. It got rid of it and didn't scarred. Unfortunately, when I tried using the same method (banana peel secured by a medical tape) on my torso (chest and belly area) it didn't work and had somehow left burn-like scars from the medical tape's adhesive. Just use with caution, even if it worked on some parts of the body, it may not work on the other parts.

Warts are viruses. One of my go-to's for viruses is Lysine. Garlic paste and fresh aloe vera are two other good cures. Good luck, warts suck.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Posted by Robert Henry (Ten Mile, Tn) on 09/06/2016
HI U HANNAH,,,,,,,,,,,,, have told this story before, but you need to hear it. My little sister had warts all over her hands. A guy at the mill told my dad that a heated pencil lead inserted into a wart would kill it. I was in college at the time and when he decided to do this I objected, saying this is dumb and you will give her blood poison. He ignored me and stuck a heated pencil led into each wart.
In a week or so all my little sister's warts were gone and I had egg on my face. Don't know the science behind this, but it worked. Since then I have been hesitant to doubt natural cures.

Chris, instead of ignoring your body's "yelling" that what you are doing is too much for it, why don't you go the slower route, no rush, and let the pain heal, and then start again with watered down ACV?
Vitamin C

I have had a couple tiny warts on the inside of my nose for several years. I have used either castor oil and coconut oil regularly. (It seems to keep them small and without pain.) However, recently, I had a blood test that revealed my Vitamin C level was virtually non-existent, so I began taking 1000 mg morning and night of ascorbic acid Over the past few weeks, I have felt the warts diminishing. I'll be keeping up this regimen!
Fulvic Acid
Posted by Scott (Pen Argyl, Pa) on 03/21/2015
★★★★★
I'd had a wart on the ring finger of my right hand for years. I tried freezing, treatments, peeling it off but it always came back. Finally I tried fulvic acid in a 350x concentration. I would just put a drop on the wart 2-4 times a day and cover it with a band aid. I would peel or grind off the dead skin with an emery board. after a few weeks the wart was dead. I still have the dead flesh where the wart was in my finger but it hasn't grown back after 3 months.
Any tips on how to get rid of the remainder of that flesh from the wart below the surface?
Vegetable and Fruit Diet

Hi, I had plantar warts for 6 years and tried everything to get rid of them (bazooka, azote, creams, natural treatments...) but nothing worked. I did last October a fruit and veggies detox for two weeks and to my big surprise my warts disappeared. I read them some articles saying that detox boots the immune system and helps get rid of them. For me this is probably the best treatment as not only you get rid of warts but also of the virus from your body so they are much less likely to disappear for longer. My warts were huge and really growing despite daily treatments so if it worked for meit is really worth trying (Vegetables, fruits, water, cereals for two weeks and you will see amazing benefits) :)
Dandelion
Posted by Robert Henry (Ten Mil , Tn.) on 12/14/2014
HI U JOSHUA, , , , , , , , , let me tell you a wild and strange story about warts. When I was a freshman at Ga Tech and home working. I was a co-op and went to school 3 months and then worked in a mill for 3 months. Now kids just borrow the money from the Gov and never pay it back. I'll write about that later.
Anyways, my little sister's hands were covered with warts. My Dad came in one day and started sharpening a hard leaded pencil and began heating the lead with a lighter. I asked, "what are you doing". I'm going to remove Betty's warts. Pedro Bays at the mill said heat the lead and stick it in the warts and they will die. "Dad, you are going to give her blood poison. Don't do this."
He did and the warts fell off within a week. So much for a smart ass kid from Ga Tech and modern medicine.
So Joshua , yo tall story will not hold a candle to mine. I figure yours is true and I know mine is.

handsdown ACV WORKS!!!! I had a wart for a few years. I sought medical line of treatments and otc packs (dr.scolls). nothing worked. Finally I used ACV PACK, the duct tape method and changing the pack every 3 days after gentle scrubbing..for 2 months. Results: voila ...it just vanished and I saw new skin coming, yet I continued for one more month.. I don't have a sign of it now ? it's slow but surely works!!!! Try it now. Be very religious about the procedure. Do not be lazy!! It WORKS!
