A lot of people don't know that you can use duct tape to remove warts, mostly because it's such a relatively new method, and it seems a little wacky and far fetched.
Well, I'm here to tell you that it is possible.
A simple Google search on removing warts will turn up a myriad of possible treatments.
I've heard so many crazy remedies: from pineapples to tree oil to potatoes.
With so many bizarre-sounding options out there, you may be a bit skeptical to believe that duct tape is going to finally answer all of your wart-prayers.
So, let me start you off with simple step-by-step instructions: 1.
Apply a small piece of the tape over the affected area.
2.
Leave the tape on for about a week.
3.
Remove the tape, and soak the area in warm water.
4.
With a pumice stone or emery board (nail file), rub away at the wart gently.
5.
After about eight weeks, you should be just about finished removing the wart.
It works by gradually removing layers of the skin each time you apply a new strip of tape.
Over time, this will eventually kill the wart and leave you with smooth skin.
It's also been theorized that the duct tape encourages the patient's immune system to attack the wart virus.
Eight weeks may seem like a long time, but the duct tape method, when tested, showed about an 80-85% success rate which is much higher than the success rate of freezing (only a mere 60%).
