However, you might be interested to know of a recent study, in which conventional treatment for warts (cryotherapy) was pitted against a lower-tech and more economical remedy that involved treating warts by covering them with duct tape.
In this study, individuals receiving cryotherapy had treatments every two or three weeks for up to six treatments. Those using duct tape were instructed to apply the tape over the affected area for up to two months. The duct tape was changed every six days.
Before renewing the tape, individuals were asked to soak the warts in warm water and then rub them with a pumice stone or emery board.
At the end of the study, 60 percent of those having cryotherapy were cured of their warts, compared to 85 percent of those using duct tape. You might like to give this DIY remedy for warts a go.
I suggest you also use the preparation of Chelidonium majus (Greater Celandine) – a traditional topical remedy for the treatment of warts.
