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!

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!

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.

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.
