How to Remove a Wart – My Experience

I’ve tried to remove a wart with duct tape in the past but it is a very long process and I wasn’t very successful with the results. It seemed to be fighting off the virus but not enough to completely remove it. However, using duct tape to remove a wart is a lot less then the cost to remove a wart in the doctors office, so its worth a shot.

How to remove a wart with duct tape:

1. Make sure the area is clean and dry. The area has to be dry or else the tape won’t stick!
2. Cut a piece of duct tape that is a little larger then the wart
3. Apply the tape to the wart in the morning. If you feel the duct tape is going to fall off easily, either use a bigger piece or get some surgical tape to hold it on better. Surgical tape can also be used to cover up the duct tape if your war is in a very visible area so people don’t have to be wondering why you have duct tape on your skin!
4. Keep the tape on for six days, changing the tape on a daily basis.
5. After six days, soak the wart in water and then use a pumice stone to scrape the wart off.
6. Reapply the tape for another day or two to make sure the virus is completely gone.
7. If the wart wouldn’t come off from the pumice stone, keep applying the tape for up to 2 months.

From what I understand, this method can be used to remove a planters wart or even to remove a seed wart. It is a very long and annoying process, and like I said, I wasn’t successful in my quest to remove a wart with duct tape. My main problem wart was on my right hand so it was rather difficult to keep the duct tape out of the sight of any of the people at the hotel that I’d come in contact with.
