Several ways: 1. Duct tape- put dusct tape on a wart and keep it covered for up to 3 weeks 2. Apple cider vinegar on a cotton ball and covered at night will also eliminate it. 3. Homeopathic thuja daily or causticum for 14-30 days. 4. Something called c herb 5. See a dermatologist and have it frozen off- themost uncomfortable method.

Genital warts? : There are many methods of destroying genital warts (freezing, burning, acid), but generally the recurrence rate is lower if you add a topical treatment like Aldara (imiquimod) cream. You would need to see a doctor, get diagnosed, get a prescription and then apply that cream yourself. For warts in other areas, see a dermatologist if over the counter salicylic acid remedies don't work.

Warts: Depending on the wart, there are different approaches. Plantar or palmar (foot and hand) warts may even disappear without any treatment. Genital warts can either be treated with liquid nitrogen or Aldara (imiquimod) cream (external on the skin). For non-genital warts, acids can be used to treat recalcitrant warts along with liquid nitrogen. Histofreeze over-the-counter is claimed to help, i'm not impressed.

Many options: The best remedy for starters (this is true) is duct tape. Cover the wart with a piece of tape and leave it on until it falls off. This will not only (usually) get rid of the wart it is covering but also can cause distant warts to shrink. If this fails, there are over the counter wart shrinking solutions and as a last resort, see a dermatologist.
