How do i get rid of a wart...FAST?

Question

besides compound W.

Answer 1

Prescription
Treatments that may be prescribed by a medical professional include:

Imiquimod, a topical cream that helps the body's immune system fight the wart virus by encouraging interferon production
Candida injections at the site of the wart, which also stimulate the body's immune system [1]
Cryosurgery, which involves freezing the wart, after which the wart and surrounding dead skin falls off by itself.
Cryosurgery followed by surgically removing the infected spot.
Treatment with chemical compounds, containing salicylic acid, blistering agents, immune system modifiers, or Formaldehyde
Laser treatment
None of these treatments are very effective on single uses; the wart often returns after the skin has healed from the treatment, but repeated treatment should get rid of the wart permanently. As they disappear after a few months and maximally a few years, treatment is necessary only if the lesions are painful or are a cosmetic problem.

[edit]
Over-the-counter
There are also several over-the-counter options. The most common ones involve salicylic acid. These products are readily available at most drugstores and supermarkets. There are typically two types of products: adhesive pads treated with salicylic acid, or a bottle of concentrated salicylic acid. Removing a wart with this method requires a strict regimen of cleaning the area, applying the salicylic acid, and removing the dead skin with a pumice stone or emery board. It may take up to 12 weeks to remove a stubborn wart.

Another over-the-counter product that can aid in wart removal is silver nitrate in the form of a Caustic Pencil, which is also available at drug stores. This method generally takes three to six daily treatments to be effective. The instructions must be followed to minimize staining of skin and clothing.

Over-the-counter cryosurgery kits are also available, however often costing 3 times as much as previously named products.

Like prescription treatments, over-the-counter treatments usually require multiple applications, and are only necessary if the warts are problematic. Additionally, these treatments are capable of destroying healthy skin as well as warts, so caution must be exercised by those attempting them without medical supervision.

Household remedies
Duct tape occlusion therapy involves placing a piece of duct tape (or medical tape) over the affected area for a week at a time. The procedure is otherwise identical to that of using salicylic acid adhesive pads. A study[1] found that the duct tape method was 85% effective, compared to a 60% success rate in the study's cryotherapy group.

Other household remedies include the application of common household things, such as banana skin, vinegar, hot water and washing liquid, aerosol sprays, or unskinned potatoes, to the affected area. Accounts vary in regards to how long they must be applied in each session and how long they take to work.

Without controlled studies for most household remedies, it is difficult to know whether the warts disappear because the remedies work, or if they disappear due to the individual's own immune system response to the virus (possibly augmented by a placebo effect). The success of hypnosis in curing warts [2] at least suggests that the condition may be cured by belief in a remedy, the placebo effect or other psychological means.

Some household remedies are potentially dangerous. These include attempts to cut or burn away the warts. Incense is sometimes used in Asian countries to burn warts. These methods are very painful, and can lead to infection and/or permanent scarring

Answer 2

I don't know how fast this works but it's cheap and easy; a SMALL (only tiny bit bigger than the wart) piece of duct tape on the wart, never take it off, I think for 7 days. I had a friend try this and it really worked! She covered it with a bandaid when she had to go to work, etc.

Answer 3

You can't really get rid of it. But i would start with finding a new hobby. And stop writing so much on the computer. Do physical activities with your friends. Set a goal for yourself to only stay on the computer for two hours then cut down every month. It could save you a few bucks on the electric bill!!! ;). Basically find something else to do, if you can't look at what movies are coming on, what events that sound kinda cool. Be out there instead of inside here.

Answer 4

Yep, duct tape is the way to go. Cut a small piece to cover the wart. Keep it on at all times, even in the shower. Replace it with another piece when that one starts to come loose. Do this until the wart disappears. This is what my son's pediatrician said to do when he had a wart on his foot.

Answer 5

My dad taught me a trick that worked within 48 hours....what you do is take an aspirin and kind of moosh it up with a tad bit of water, just till its a paste then spread it on the affected area and bandage it up ....with a band aid or anything that will keep it covered....you keep that on there for 24 hours straight with out taking the bandage off and the next morning you repeat it.....after the second day unwrap it and it should be gone.....I had a nasty nasty wart on my hand and did this and it worked perfectly....hope it helps.

Answer 6

Most pharmacies now carry small freezing kits. Dr. Scholls makes one. Its way better then the liquid Compound W.

If you're not comfortable doing it at home, you can go to the doctor and they'll freeze it for you. It tingles a little once it starts "defrosting", but in a couple of days it should be gone. And, since it freezes, it usually kills the root so it won't come back.

Answer 8

as dumb as it sounds, duct tape the area! Teh duct tape will suffocate the wart and get rid of it. Best way is to have it frozen and that gets rid of it in no time flat but it requires going to the Dr. and can be quite expensive if you dont have insurance. My grandma swore by duct tape! And she could cure anything!. Good luck.

Answer 9

Depends on where it is. If it is in a (shall we say "private" area) you should GO TO THE DR. FAST! Otherwise, I read somewhere to put a piece of raw sliced potato on it, but I can't remember where. Hope someone else can give you a better answer. Sorry
