I think the idea of the duct tape is to completely cover the verruca, to stop air/light getting to it so that it dies off over time. You have to keep it covered constantly.

Because it will most likely disappear without treatment.

I can see that you mean business:

If you want to give the duct-tape treatment a try, cover the wart with a piece of tape for about six days. (You can put a bandage on top of the tape if you don't like the way it looks.) Remove the tape, soak the wart, and then scrape it gently with a nail file. Leave the wart uncovered overnight, then reapply the tape in the morning and leave for another six days. Repeat this procedure — for up to two months — until the wart is gone.

Sqad that sounds like treating a cold; treat it and it will last a week, don't treat it and it will last seven days!

While on the subject of excrescences, what could have caused the one that has appeared on my face?

[Sqad]

Actinic keratosis.................just a guess sandy.

I've just googled an image and that's it. Some guess, Sqad. :-)
