Effective Wart Removal: Home Remedies & Prevention

The plantar wart originates from the human papillomavirus and appears on the foot during outbreaks. Find out how you can easily heal warts and keep outbreaks from coming back.

Instructions

• 1

  Gather Vitamin C tablets, a medium sized bowl and some water. In the bowl, crush Vitamin C tablets until a powder is created. Once the tablets are well crushed, add a little bit of water and stir until the powder turns into a paste. Apply the Vitamin C paste liberally to your wart or affected area. Cover with a band aid. The Vitamin C will begin to reduce the appearance of a wart and warts will go away over time.

  Use over-the-counter wart bandages to remove skin warts. Specialized wart bandages can be purchased at any drugstore and they work by gradually lifting away layers of the wart until the wart is completely gone. Wart bandages are inexpensive and convenient to use.

• 3

  Apply a wart removal cream. You can attain a prescription strength cream from your doctor or utilize a wart removal cream without a prescription from any drugstore or pharmacy. Creams work over the course of several weeks and some can prevent future episodes of skin irritations and warts.

• 4

  Use a liquid wart remover. Liquid wart removers work in the same healing fashion as the bandages and creams. Over time the wart will fade with daily use.
