The Power of Duct Tape
What can’t duct tape do? Believe it or not, this is a popular home remedy for warts. The idea is to keep the wart covered with a small piece of duct tape for several days. Next, you remove the duct tape, soak the area in water, and scrub it with a pumice stone. While some studies have mixed results, many people swear by this method. The duct tape starves the wart of oxygen, not to mention it can help you to prevent it from spreading to others.
Apple Cider Vinegar
This kitchen staple is acidic and is thought to work similarly to salicylic acid, a common wart treatment ingredient. You can dilute it with water, soak a cotton ball, and apply it to the wart. Just be sure to dilute the apple cider vinegar to avoid irritating your skin.
Aspirin Paste
Since aspirin is made from salicylic acid, crushing it into a paste with a little water can create a peeling agent for your wart. Simply apply the paste, cover it with a bandage, and leave it on overnight.
Tea Tree Oil
Known for its powerful antimicrobial properties, tea tree oil can be a useful tool. It is important to dilute it with a carrier oil like almond or castor oil to prevent skin irritation before applying it to the wart.
