Whats the best way to get rid of a wart on a hand?!
Question: it has been frozen and used acid from the chemist!
Answers: it has been frozen and used acid from the chemist!
Here's my top best ways:
1) adhesive tape is an effective treatment for warts that's cheap and doesn't leave scars.
Try this: Wrap the wart completely and snugly with four layers of tape. Leave the tape on for 6 ? days, then remove it for half a day. You may need to repeat the procedure for about three to four weeks before the wart disappears.
2. Try castor oil. It's probably the acid in castor oil that does the trick by irritating the wart. The oil works best on small, flat warts on the face and the back of the hands. Apply castor oil to the wart with a cotton swab twice a day.
3. "C" what you can do. Vitamin C is mildly acidic, so it may irritate the wart enough to make it go away. Apply a paste made of crushed vitamin C tablets and water only to the wart, not to the surrounding skin. Then cover the paste with gauze and tape.
4. Heat it up. soaking plantar warts in very hot water was helpful because it softens the wart and may kill the virus. Make sure the water is not too hot, or you may burn yourself.
5. Take precautions with over-the-counter preparations. . Salicylic acid works because it's an irritant, so no matter which strength of solution you use, try to keep it from irritating the surrounding skin. If you're using a liquid medication, smear a ring of petroleum jelly around the wart before applying the medication. If you're using a medicated wart pad or patch, cut it to cover just the size of the wart. Apply over-the-counter medications at night and leave the area uncovered.
6. Chalk it up to the power of suggestion. Some physicians use this technique on children, who are still impressionable. The doctor tells the child that if the doctor rubs chalk on the child's warts, they will disappear. There are variations on this, including: Coloring the warts with crayon or drawing a picture of a child's hand with the warts crossed out and throwing the picture in the garbage.
7. Cover your cuts and scrapes. The wart virus loves finding a good scratch so it can make its way under your skin. Keep your cuts and scrapes covered to keep out the wart virus.
Hope I helped.
Have a great day (hopefully wart-free soon!)

My Granny used to 'buy them' off people - sometimes it even worked!
Well if freezing does not work try rubbing a potato cut in half on it.
My nan bless her thinks it works.... give it a go
Just mix some rock salt in water and apply this water at the root of the wart ..it will blacken and drop off...........and do not visit that same barber again
Don't use Wartner, I did and got awful scars....
Hmm, I had mine frozen and they did they trick! Only other option is to ask your dr to write a referral to the hospital and have them removed surgically. Although this is normally done with moles, I am sure they could do something if you asked.
Go to the Dr. and have them burn it off. The over the counter wart removers only tend to keep them gone for awhile.They will return. The one that is removed by your Dr. will stay away.
chlorine helps warts, if you start swimming alot the wart will evetually get smaller and then fall off, it wont even leave a scar
For common warts, the kind you get on your hands, use nail polish. It really works. I had gotten warts on my hand one summer and they quickly spread because I suffer from dry, cracked skin. I tried the duct-tape method, but because I'm crazy serious about hand washing I couldn't get it to stay stuck. I tried freezing, store-bought wart acid, and in frustration tried cutting one of the larger ones off with scissors and then applying the acid(DO NOT TRY, it doesn't work and HURTS). I was embarrassed to shake peoples hands and was tired of explaining to kids about the "little bumps" on my fingers. Finally, one night I applied regular old nail polish, because it was a peach color I thought it would hide the warts. I felt nothing, and I peeled it off a couple days later to discover the tops of the warts were shrively. Intrigued, I continued to apply nail polish, clear or colored both seemed to work, it stayed on my skin for 3 or more days at a time and the only sensation I felt was occasionally a tingling as I first painted it on. It completely got rid of my warts and 2 years later I haven't had a single re-ocurrence. I've not tried this on plantar warts so I don't know if it will work, and for the larger common warts it may take a few weeks; but clear nail polish beats wearing duct-tape in public!
go 2 c a doc, dont do it urself, can b dangerous and at doc he uses a speical acid stuff it freezin but works really well
good luck
Go and see your Dr if all else has failed.
An old wives tale is supposed to get rid of em - rub a piece of raw beef on the wart and the bury the meat in the garden!
Doubt it will work but maybe worth a try.
