Warts

Duct tape adhesive has sicylic acid in it. Minimal. Why it takes a month or better. I ca t wear duct tape like that.

Now of we could jus figure out how to cure it

Totally understand. Knowing it isn't contagious I don't worry about it. However I would never have a discussion at work about it. Not gonna go sit down and ask a table I they know how to get rid of warts. Worked in a lot of kitchens, my hands are the least of my worries.

The adhesive itself doesn't have salicylic acid in it but using the two together can get rid of the wart it just takes quite awhile.

I'd ask your Dr to shave it and then freeze it, of course it may take a few times to completely get rid of it and it could easily pop up somewhere else because the virus will always be in your body.

I am typically a lurker, not a poster, but we do have some experience with warts I'd like to share. My son, when he was young (8-10), had warts on his hand. We tried every wart removal product we could find and then went to a dermatologist. The dermatologist froze them and shaved them again and again, but they would always come back. One day, while at our pharmacy, the pharmacy tech asked us if we had tried Tagamet, the medicine for indigestion. We looked at him like he had 3 heads, but he said that one of the side effects of Tagamet was that it caused people's warts to go away. We bought some (generic equivalent) and he took it regularly. In six weeks the warts were gone and never returned. That was 15+ years ago and he hasn't had a wart since. Prior to the Tagamet, we tried for 2 years to get rid of the warts using conventional methods and nothing worked until we used the Tagamet. If you google "tagamet for warts" you will get quite a few hits. It certainly worked for my son. YMMV.

Interesting. Some stomach ulcers are caused by a virus too. I wonder if the Tagamet works on the HPV the same way it does H. pylori in the stomach.

Try the garlic. Growing up on a dirt farm this was our remedy for alot of stuff as it is a natural germ killer, everyone in the family who has had warts has used garlic and they never come back.

Are you sure they aren't contagious? Warts are caused by viruses. Why don't you just wear gloves?

My son had 3 really ugly, big warts on his hand when he was 13 or 14. We bought Dr Scholl's Freeze Away and he used it with my supervision, or at least I thought......Later on I found the package and it was empty. He still had the darn warts. About a month later I asked to see his hand and they were gone. He didn't even notice! No scar or sore, nothing. Just gone. These warts were as big as pencil erasers and narley looking. Big I can almost guarantee he used the entire container on them.
