oh and please be serious with your answer. I've had this wart for about a year and its really caused my self esteem to drop.


Answers:

You don't mention the location of the wart. Many people claim soaking a wart 2-3 times a day in 2 tablespoons of bleach to 1 quart of water is useful. Others claim applying bleach with a cotton swab 2-3 times day is useful.

I am not recommending this treatment. Sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach) is corrosive. It can cause skin irritation and breakdown, even in mild solutions. If applied to nonintact skin (even if the nonintact areas are microscopically tiny) the results can be painful and dangerous.

I encourage you to see your physician regarding your wart. Your low self-esteem regarding your wart may become even lower if you accidentally burn and scar your skin with a bleach solution.
