A member asked:
Using black nail polish on wart? how long will it take for it to go away?can i use duct tape(doc treated it, said to come back in 2 weeks if not gone)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-3 weeks: Black nail polish is a home remedy that may improve the wart by suffocating the virus similar to the duct tap. Every application should last 5-7 days, if no improvement in 2-3 applications, see your dermatologist.
