Cut a piece of duct tape the size of the wart, put it on the wart and leave it there (could take a month). Not kidding!

I've had success with Vitamin E capsules. You clip the capsule and squeeze a drop or two on the wart then cover with a bandaid if possible to keep the Vit. E from being rubbed off. It takes a few weeks, but soon the seeds in the wart will turn black and the wart will fall off. I've never had one come back using this method.
My daughter at age 5 had a seed wart on her foot. One medium sized wart with a field of small ones around it. I put Vit. E. on her foot twice a day for 2 weeks and they all disappeared. She's 22 now and has never had one return on her foot.
I had a plantar wart which hurt like the dickens! After two days it stopped hurting and by continuing to put the Vit E on, the seeds died and it came off.

ok he needs to stop biting it so it doesn't spread. Don't let him put it on you, it is a virus. Anyway just have him go to the doctor and have it removed. You can try to treat it with a new product the freezes it. But here's a simple fix
Cut a piece of duct tape as close to the size of the wart as possible.
Leave on for six days.
If the original piece of duct tape falls off, immediately replace with more duct tape.
At the end of six days, remove the tape, soak the area in water, and then gently rub the wart with an emery board or pumice stone.
Leave tape off for overnight, and then reapply the next morning.
Repeat until the wart(s) disappear (maximum 2 months

its an old wives tale but it worked when my mother did it to my brother.. take a piece of black thread and rub it across the wart ..u then take the thread outside and bury it . when the thread rots the wart will be gone ...
also, at tyour drug store compound w has a product that will freeze them now like what they did in the drs offices before. I havent used it so I cant say if it works well .here is a website that explains the compound w product .

Yes, like the fireman EMT said, try a piece of duct tape. Not sure if you need to change it everyday though.
