My son had several warts on his fingers and after trying Thuja homeopathec pills (which worked for his verucca oddly, but not for his fingers) a visit to the doctors resulted in the following: Use gaffer tape (the silver sticky stuff) and tape the warts up for 6 days. take a day off, ie Sunday, then retape the warts and continue like this for 4 weeks. We started this treatment, but after about 3 days the tape came off due to fiddiling etc, and was never re-attached. Surprisingy 3 weeks later the warts have gone, and these are ******* that have been there for a few years! Quirkily enough, he has one on his knee which wasn't treated with sticky gaffer tape and that's still there! Make of this what you will. It may be unsightly, but no pain involved and if this is what a bone-fide doctor is reccomending then maybe it's worth a shot. Let me know, if you try this method out, if they go - or is my son regenerating himself, in which case I may get worried!!

I know a few so called remedies,

1. Wet the end of a match and rub the sulphur on the wart.
2. Paint the wart with nail varnish.
3. Rub the wart with a peice of steak, then bury said steak in the garden.
4. Get someone to buy the wart, just a few pence will do.

Hi, I had one on each hand a few years a go. Can't believe this worked but it did and they have never returned!
Get some fresh garlic (I didn't say it wasn't a smelly way!), cut a thin piece, just big enough to cover the wart. Place it over the wart and cover with a sticking plaster. I did this overnight for two nights and they literally dissappeared.
Think lemon juice will help get rid of the smell!
Let us know what works and good luck!
