What's the signifagance behind duct tape on a wart? derm wants me to put ?salysalic? acid then duct tape for 3 warts. when will i know their gone??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Questionable.: Duct tape has been reported (anecdotally) to work on warts, but no one knows why. Salicylic acid is sometimes effective, but I prefer liquid nitrogen, cantharidin, and other, better-proven treatments. You'll know they're gone when they're gone.
