Compound W.
There is also a new product on the market where you can freeze them off. Uses similar treatment that doctors use.
I've also heard that the duct tape thing works well.

this really works Try castor oil. It's probably the acid in castor oil that does the trick by irritating the wart. The oil works best on small, flat warts on the face and hands. Apply castor oil to the wart with a cotton swab twice a day.
or you can
Wrap the wart completely and snugly with four layers of tape. Leave the tape on for 6 « days, then remove it for half a day. You may need to repeat the procedure for about three to four weeks before the wart disappears.

Get some 'Compound W'...it comes in a tiny bottle with a glass dropper under the cap. Put a drop on the wart and wait for it to dry and turn white. The wart will dissappear in a few days if you keep it covered with the stuff (apply twice a day).

Beleive it or not my son got rid of his warts by keeping his hands dry. He had like 15 on one hand and about 20 all over they were pretty gross. He heard that if he kept his hands dry and out of his pockets they would go away. And they did. No scars no nothing. Can't even tell they were there. Make sure to wash your hands with soap and keep them dry. They should go away. if that doesn't work I have heard using the wart stuff works to but thats kind of stinky. Try the free way first! Good luck!

my doctor has told me to put duct tape over it and just keep it covered til its gone. but it still takes a long time. id rather have a wart for 10 months than have a wart with duct tape on it for 6 months. but ive heard that from several doctors.

I use to have a bunch of warts on both of my hands and nothing worked to get rid of them. Once I finally stopped putting stuff on them and messing with them they went away on their own and I haven't had any sense.
P.S. Duct tape doesn't work!!

this sounds gross, but its been a family remedy for years
put a little of your own spit on the wart
cover wart with small piece of duct tape
everyday for 10 days, no more wart
or for a less digusting approach, try FREEZE OFF, usually near the band aid section

I had a wart on my ring fingertip, within 2 years I had it frozen twice, it went away and came back, went away and came back, then I started taking fingernail cilppers to it. It's dead skin so it doesn't hurt, just be careful. Each time I clipped it the growth would get smaller and smaller until it never came back. Happy clipping. (or freezing or what remedies work for you)

Cover it with duct tape. Not sure why it works but it will make it go away!
