Answer 2

I've just posted an answer on how to get rid of genital warts, so maybe it can help with your finger. It will be much easier to try on your hand than elsewhere :-)

Essentially I applied Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) each evening to the wart, using a small piece of cotton wool and and a plaster. After a few days of nothing much happening, apart from the wart being white from the ACV - it is an acid, about 5% strength I believe - the first and largest wart I was treating as a test, had become a little more visible, over the next few days it started to shrink and the ACV would sting when applied. After a couple of weeks it was much smaller, at this point it became almost painful applying ACV, but only for the initial 10 minutes or so, and it was tempting to stop. Then a few days later there was no trace left.

I'd guess that it would work on hand warts as well ... which is where I originally learnt about the remedy. I have no scarring, the skin has just returned to original look.

By the way I used the Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar, in case this has any significance to the results, I would suggest using the same, or otherwise at least using an organic/quality ACV.

WART TREATMENTS:

1. Salicylic Acid: over-the-counter treatments contain salicylic acid. Treatment must be applied every day until the wart is gone, and could take weeks. In addition, the wart should be filed gently daily with an emery board to remove the dead surface of the wart.

2. Duct Tape: Another home remedy is to use duct tape every day until the wart is gone and this treatment could take weeks. A more complete description of duct tape treatment is provided below.

3. Physician Removal:

a. Freezing (Cryotherapy): your doctor may freeze the wart with liquid nitrogen. Treatment may be needed several times over several weeks.

b. Chemical - Cantharidin: your doctor can use to a chemical called cantharidin to remove the wart. The chemical will blister the wart, and the doctor will remove the dead skin of the wart at the next visit. If the wart is not gone, the doctor may apply another treatment of cantharidin.

c. Surgery: your doctor can surgically remove the wart. However, surgery can be painful and may leave a scar.

d. Laser Removal: if other treatments have been unsuccessful, then your doctor may remove the wart with laser surgery. Laser surgery is expensive, can be painful, and could leave a scar.

If it were me I think I would choose Duct Tape lol

DUCT TAPE FOR WART REMOVAL

A study by Dr. Dean Focht, reported in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine (http://archpedi.ama-assn.org), found duct tape to be more effective than treatment with cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen used to freeze warts).

Dr. Anthony J. Mancini, pediatric dermatologist at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago uses duct-tape therapy for warts. In an interview with the American Academy of Dermatology consumer magazine, “Dermatology Insights”, duct tape treatment was discussed by Dr. Mancini (www.aad.org):

WHY DUCT TAPE

Two theories were proposed as to why duct tape works:

1. Debrides (removes dead skin) from the wart, thereby gradually eliminating the wart virus that resides in the skin.

2. Occluding the wart with duct tape somehow gets the patient’s immune system activated to attack the wart virus.

DUCT TAPE TREATMENT PROCESS

There are various ways to use duct tape on warts:

1. Patients apply the duct tape to the wart, keep it in place for six or so days, then remove it, soak the wart, and pare it down with a filing (emory) board.

2. Apply over-the-counter salicylic acid wart remover liquid to the wart before bedtime. After letting it air dry for a minute or so, apply the duct tape over the wart, completely covering the area. Remove the duct tape the following morning. Each time they remove the tape, they are debriding some of the wart tissue. Repeat the application each night, until there is no remaining wart tissue.

Answer 4

Warts are generally the result of a lowered immune system. Try to freeze them yourself.(many products available at drugstores) I used "Compound W" purchased at Walgreen's....about $20. It may take several applications and it will take a couple of weeks for them to heal,so depending on your insurance you may be better off with any General Practitioner. But they charge a lot. Be sure you are covered,esp for multiple treatments. PS. Warts can spread by contact so avoid scratching, etc. in your infected areas

Answer 5

Did you try compound w ? that works. If not laser surgery is a permanent solution.This is covered under a health insurance, because as you describe it, it is a medical necessity.

Answer 6

I had the same problem and I got them frozen off but they kept coming back. Some one told me to use Iodine vaseline and it worked for me! Good luck

Answer 7

your warts can easily be removed with a large kitchen knife, or a hatchet..

Answer 8

Just kill yourself now before it gets worse

Answer 9

TRY going TO see THE doctor AND the CAPITAL words ARE really ANNOYING...
