Answer 1

warts are caused by a virus......to get rid of them you can cover them with duct tape for a couple of weeks.....the duct tape irritates the skin and causes the immune system to attack the cause of the irritation....which also causes the immune system to attack the wart virus ultimately getting rid of the wart.

Answer 2

A wart is generally a small, rough tumour, typically on hands and feet, that resembles a cauliflower. Warts are common, and are caused by a viral infection, specifically by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They typically disappear after a few months but can last for years and can recur. A few papillomaviruses are known to cause cancer. Certain types of warts, depending on location and cause, can be contagious from region to region, but are not transferable between species.

Treatments that may be prescribed by a medical professional include:

Keratolysis, removal of dead surface skin cells usually using salicylic acid, blistering agents, immune system modifiers, or formaldehyde.
Cryosurgery, which involves freezing the wart, after which the wart and surrounding dead skin falls off by itself. Surgical removal of the wart is sometimes also performed.
Laser treatment.
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.
Cantharidin

Answer 3

Warts are growths caused by a virus. There are several over the counter medications for removal. Clear nail polish will work though, Just keep the wart coated with it until it falls off. Keeping it sealed with the polish suffocates the wart and thats the same way the more expensive medications work. They also justdisappear on their own sometimes.

Answer 4

Warts are usually a temporary skin condition. The best way I've found to get rid of them is a daily exposure to vinegar for 10 to 20 minutes. That takes about two or three weeks of really dedicated work. I've also heard that you can wrap them in fresh banana skins daily for the same amount of time. Mostly, if you don't mind their presence, they will go away after about two or three years.

Answer 5

Warts are a virus the best way is to go to the doctor and have him treat them or at least let you know what kind they are and are they (home) treatable or do they need to be froze off by Dr.
