Many years ago I read somewhere about using a Vitamin C tablet and water to remove a wart. I had a wart frozen from my wrist, and years later it came back. I tried the Vitamin C tablet and water and the wart disappeared. Use enough water on the Vitamin C tablet to make a paste. Apply the paste on the wart, cover with a bandaid, and leave it alone. Re-apply as needed and in a week or so the wart will be gone.

I just read an archived post on homemade wart remedies. A lot of suggestions were offered. Surgery, plant extracts, duct tape, even rubbing a penny on the wart. Rubbing a penny on the wart? Get outta here! Let me tell you about Mr. Anderson.
Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community.
I have a tiny seed wart on the toe beside my big toe...at least I think it's a seed wart. It's been there for about 3 months and hurts when touched or bumped. It's not above the surface of my skin, but looks like it's embedded. Does anyone have any tips on how to remove it? Thanks!
See a podiatrist. It might not be a seed wart.
I used the remedy in the store by dr schools. It is the freeze one. i did this twice and the wart has not returned. It does sting a lil and works quick!
My podiatrist recommended Dr. Scholl's clear away. The freeze away kits are also the same as what doctors get. If you use it, make sure to hold it on the wart for 30-40 seconds if located on your foot.
My mother told me that when she was a kid, my grandma would have her rub a piece of raw potato on the wart and eventually it went away. There's something in the raw flesh of the potato that eats away at the wart. Anyhow, it's a cheap and easy way to get rid of one!
I had several seed warts on my lower stomach. Duct tape would have worked but I didn't know to use it. The seeds came out on their own and the wart disappeared quickly. They were there for years and then one night they changed and a seed came out of them.
I had one for about 3 mo. it drove me nuts. I did the duct tape for two weeks straight, it did minimize the size but did not go away. So when I did see the seeds I actually took tweezers and removed four seeds. When I removed the fifth one it bleed like crazy, that was the main seed.
Soak your foot and take a soft toothbrush and rub back and forth gently then take a corn band-aid with a hole in the center. Then take chalk board chalk (the one that they use in school). Make like a paste and drop it in the hole of the band-aid. DO THIS EVERYDAY! Then the core of it will start coming up. Don't be afraid. My daughter had one and the doctor told me to do this. (I thought he was crazy) IT WORKS!
I finally was successful by using duct tape. But it took over 4 years! whew. I had a seed wart on my little toe that spread into many warts. I tried to freeze them off but no luck. So then I tried duct tape and it finally worked. I would change the duct tape every 4 days or so and file the warts with an emery board and put the duct tape all the way around my toe.
I have had seed warts and plant warts while growing up. The one on back of my hand kept getting in my way and I would keep hitting it and making it bleed and getting very much larger. There were two of them and they grew together. They got as high as a diamond ring. The DR. Finally had to remove them by burning them off. I know this sounds drastic. It didn't hurt as he had to deaden my hand with a shot. I have a scar but 60 years later no more seed warts.I do have one growing now on the same hand. The DR. removed the plant warts on the bottom of my feet by placing 40 % acid patches on top of the warts.
What is the best way to remove a wart? I have one on my arm.
Tippy
I only use duct tape. Keep it covered until it comes off.
Well the easy way is to go to a Dermatologist who will take it off with no trouble,however,if you don't choose to do that you could try Compound W sold over the counter in drug stores and Wal Mart.Just follow the directions and it doe'nt sting.Or you could try home remedies like duct tape.Supposedly keep the tape on the wart and it should be gone with in 2 weeks.
I have a wart growing just below my left lower eyelid. I'd like to find a way to get rid of it naturally, but with it being so close to my eye, I'm a bit worried. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
By Kristi Y.
Please go to a dermatologist to have it removed. If you have insurance it will probably not be too expensive. Don't take chances with you face and around your eyes.
Your sight is too precious to be risking home/self remedies for something so close to your eyes so please go to your doctor. Even if you can't afford it all at once they will make payment arrangements with you.
I don't think there is a "natural" way to remove a wart. I would not use the over the counter remedies for something so close to your eye. You should consult a doctor. I have heard that duct tape(the silver kind) placed over a wart for a couple of weeks will kill the wart.
I had exactly the same problem a few years ago. Developed a wart less than a half inch from the inner corner of my eye. Since over-the-counter remedies cannot be used near the eyes, I went online and Googled wart remedies. I kept seeing people talk about vinegar, cotton, and duct tape. I bought some Q-Tips, pulled a bit off of one, wet it with vinegar (squeezing the excess vinegar out of it), placed it on the wart (being very careful not to get vinegar in my eye), and placed a piece of clear duct tape over it.
It took two-three weeks to work, and I probably looked a bit strange to the folks I worked with, but it totally got rid of the wart. Not even a scar, and it has never come back. It might work just using the tape and no vinegar, too, but I'm not sure. Good luck.
Wanted to add one more thing. You really do need to have a doctor take care of the wart not just to be careful of your eyesite but also because HPV causes warts and being that near a moist surface like your eye might cause it to spread.
I've had this wart on my left knee for some time now. I've gone to the doctor to have him freeze it, but it didn't work. I've tried duct tape and Compound W, not to mention everything in between. I even tried the Freeze Away at home stuff. Nothing works! How do I get rid of it? I can't go to the doctor anymore because they've frozen it so much and they won't help me. Please help!

I looked up some FAQ's at www.webmd.com and this link will help.

I never knew that one wart can be the mother of all the rest, or that they are contagious. So, check it out and see if this helps.
Good luck.
Try full strength lemon juice, swabbing the wart several times a day. It really does work. Cleared up my son's wart on a toe.
I would go to another doctor.
Can you use a pumice stone on warts on the hand?
By Bill
You could use a pumice on warts to remove them but over time they will grow back. You could try some over the counter products at the pharmacy. Best bet to remove them permanently is have have a dermatologist remove them with liquid nitrogen. They do this in their office and only takes a minute or two.
Three ways to get rid of wart without "chemicals".
1. Duct tape
2. Potato piece on wart, hold it on with a band-aid or tape, change at least every other day. Takes 2-3 weeks, skin will be new and no scar.
3. Dandelion milk from the stem of the flower. Squeeze on warts two to three times/day. Wart turn black and will just fall off leaving skin unscarred. Of course you need dandelions in season.
I used methods 2 and 3 with two of my children. It has been at least 6 years and no regrowth, however because it is a virus, it can show itself again.
I have a seed wart on my foot, right below the ball of the big toe. I need to get ride of it. I tried picking it off, but it didn't work. And now it is split open. I don't like how it feels. And I'm scared that if I try touching it with any other part of my body that there will be more.
By Danny
After the seed wart is open, put iodine on it so it seeps down into the wart. You will be able to see the iodine going dow into it. Appy the iodine several times if need be. The wart will eventually disappear. This worked for me. Hope this helps.
Put a piece of duct tape on it . Change it out every couple of days. The constant pressure will get rid of it. It may take about 8 weeks. Don't touch the wart it can spread.
I have a wart that keeps coming back on my thumb. It takes months to get rid of, it will be gone for a couple years, and then it comes back in the exact same spot. Does anyone know the cause of this and/or how I can stop it for good?
By ST
Try putting lemon juice (bottled real lemon juice works too) on the wart a couple times a day until it clears up. My son had gone to the doctor for 1 1/2 year to treat one and within a few days putting lemon juice on it was all cleared up.
How do you remove a wart between the toes? The wart was picked up at a local swimming pool.
By Sandra
Soak a piece of a cotton ball with white vinegar and wring out. Place on the wart and secure with duct tape making sure no air pockets remain. remove every day and re-apply daily. The skin will turn white the first couple of days but eventually it will turn dark and wart will fall off. Good luck.
How do I get rid of a soft seed wart on the side of my knee?
Removing seed warts
Step 1
Put a piece of duct tape on the wart.
Step 2
After a few days remove the tape. Scrape off dead skin and clean the wart. Apply a fresh piece of tape and repeat the process until the wart is gone.
Web MD has the best advice--leave it alone and it may just go away on its own.
The over the counter treatments work--like compound W, but I find them quite painful.
The last one I had was so deep it needed to be removed by a doctor. I hope you do not have one like that. It was very painful.

Best and healing wishes going your way!!
I can say from seeing someone do this - putting just duck tape only over a wart can be very painful to remove - so IF you try this - just duck tape - leave it alone for 5 or 6 days or until it falls off by itself. Clean up the area and reapply but many say this takes 'forever' or at least many applications.
Some recommend that you place one of the wart remover compounds sold in most stores on the wart and then cover with duck tape or other types of cover. This is supposed to be a faster method. Stores also have several other type of treatment - even a 'freezing' compounds as well as patches.
You should be very careful when using any type of treatment and keep a close watch to make sure you do not get it infected and do not use any type of tape more than once and wash hands thoroughly after each treatment.
Your wart is in an awkward place so you may have to try more than one treatment to safely keep the wart from spreading.
Keep watch as these do sometimes return.
Do some reading and then decide on your course of action.

My warts has hair growing from it. Can I used duck tape and remove it?
I am looking for a remedy for warts on the neck.
By WILLIAM E WEBB from Dearborn, MI
You may recall a few years ago it was reported in the media that using duct tape on a wart for 2 weeks would remove the wart. Why not try it and report the results on thriftyfun.
This is a page about home remedies for warts. Warts are typically hard almost skin colored bumps, caused by one of the human papillomavirus (HPV) strains. There are many treatments for them including home remedies.
