Duct Tape
I have warts. Not huge ones… just small, flat warts. They don’t hurt, in fact, if I didn’t tell you, you wouldn’t even notice them. I had one for over 10 years. But found a way to get rid of them. Duck tape. I’m sure some of you out there have heard of this. Some may have tried it too. Well, for those that have not and are looking for a cure to their warts, duck tape is the way to go.
I came across this treatment not for me, but for my son. He had a ginormous wart on his toe and it hurt him a lot. I knew he wasn’t going to go for doctor treatments on it as I’ve heard they’re quite painful. Heck, I didn’t want to do it. So when I saw this, I figured we’d give it a try. All you have to do is apply the tape to the wart and leave it there for about 5 to 7 days. Then remove the tape and use and emery board or nail file to file off the dead skin on the wart (the skin where the tape was will be white like it’s been in the bath for a looonnngg time). Leave the tape off over night and then reapply it in the morning. This process will take a long time before the wart goes away, like… several months. But if you stick with it, the wart will go away. My son now has no wart on his toe at all.
So if you or someone you know has warts… use duct tape on them. It totally works.

Share the info! I’m sure someone you know either has, or knows someone else that could use this tip.

I had a wart on my elbow once. I was little and like a kid I pulled it off. It didn’t really hurt, but I remember bleeding alot and my mother nearly having a heart attack. lol Got rid of the wart though….

Glad to hear your son’s warts are gone. Those suckers can be painful, and are really persistent. I can personally back this up. Had a few warts about 10 years ago, used duct tape on them, they’ve been gone since. Had tried salicylic acid…, didn’t work. Duct tape (applied every day) eventually killed the warts.

Yes! Someone else that knows the power of duct tape! I never would have believed it had I not seen it for myself.
