Warts

Warts are small lumps of skin that can be itchy or painful.  They usually go away on their own, but it can take years.

Tips

Vinegar

You can try soaking a cotton wool ball with apple cider vinegar, then sticking it over the wart with a plaster and leave it over night.  Repeat for about a week or two and the wart should come away.  Take care not to irritate the surrounding skin with the apple cider vinegar.

Oregano oil

As with the apple cider vinegar above, soak a cotton wool ball with oregano oil, then stick it over the wart with a plaster and leave it over night.  Repeat for about a week or two and the wart should come away.

Duct tape

The duct tape might take a little longer, but it is less messy than vinegar or oil.  Cut a piece of duct tape to fit exactly over the wart.  After 6 days take the tape off, and then soak the wart in warm water.  Dry it off, then use an emery board to file away any dead white skin.  Then leave it open to the air for 12 hours (for example, overnight).  Keep on repeating until the wart is completely gone.

Thuja oil or cream

Some people report that rubbing thuja oil or cream on a wart removes the wart in a few days.
