Warts, also known as verrucas vulgaris, are caused by infection with the human papillomavirus.
Doctors often recommend that warts are frozen with liquid nitrogen – a treatment sometimes referred to as cryotherapy. However, natural alternatives do exist.
Common Warts Removal Treatment: I have read that rubbing the inside of a banana skin onto a wart each night may help get rid of it. I don’t know anyone who has tried this method, but I’m thrilled to accept that it might work.
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.
