Warts can be very troublesome and what works for one wart may not work for another.
Here is a link to the wart question on the earthclinic.com site that I am fond of. Read through it and see if any of them appeal to you. http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/warts.html One I didn't read about at the site, but which has been helpful when consistently followed, is to get ahold of some living milkweed plants. Tear off a bit of a leaf until the milky sap flows and cover the warts with the sap. This has never failed to reduce warts for my wife, but then when they get small, she neglects to continue the treatment, so they've never gone away completely. I suspect that this treatment and several other popular treatments have success for the same reason, which is that they all likely block air from reaching the wart. My theory is the wart needs oxygen to survive. If that is the case, it seems to me that the perfect treatment would be to paint the warts with superglue as that is long-lasting and would be the least trouble. Re-paint every couple days and see what happens. Years ago, my son had a plantar's wart. I think we shaved off the top layer of skin and found a black nucleus that look like a tiny root shaped somewhat like a carrot. We pulled it out with a tweezers and it healed and disappeared completely.

To: silver-list@eskimo.com Date: Wednesday, February 8, 2012, 11:14 PM I have a question for anyone who can help me ... I have what seems to be a plantar's wart on both of my feet ... the left foot is worse than the right foot ... They are located on the top pads of both feet. The area around the warts is pretty hard, like a hard callous. Several months ago someone on this list said they had cured a wart by putting duct tape over the top of the wart, left it on for 7 days and the wart came out at that time with a long tail on it... I took your suggestion and placed duct tape on both feet over the warts .. I left the tape on the warts for 8 days... when I took it off, nothing had changed, I still had the warts. One strange thing did happen, since I put the duct tape on the wart on the left foot, the arch on my left foot itches incessantly, the itching never stops. Can anyone on this list please offer me some suggestions as to how to remove these warts without going to a doctor or using modern medicine? I'm not a fan of either of the above solutions. Question... if I use the duct tape again and leave it on longer than the 8 days, would I have any better success? Truly, I am at my wits end, the warts have gotten so sore it is making it very hard for me to walk .. When I do walk, afterwards my feet hurt so badly and I have a burning sensation around the wart area. Please, any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thank you .. Judy
