No. Masking tape is little more than paper with some weak sticky stuff on it. It was designed to prevent mistakes when painting houses.

Duct tape is what the urban legends say will work. It will take about two weeks. Or you could buy some wart removing medications that will take approximately 14 days.

(Two weeks = 14 days)

Ice cubes are frozen water. They do not get cold enough to "freeze" off a wart. A doctor can freeze one off with liquid nitrogen. You canNOT buy liquid nitrogen on your own. It is extremely dangerous if it's not handled properly.

If the wart keeps getting caught on things, and you are afraid you will get hurt, you can get the doctor to take it off for you. Otherwise your best bet is to use one of the over-the-counter medications.

No, but I'd be happy to take off some other things for you.

Hi Sara

Here are some ideas to use.

Causes
Warts are caused by any of 35 viruses and are often a consequence of poor diet and nutrition, poor hygiene, and, in the cases of genital warts, unprotected sex. Warts also become more common as a consequence of aging with corresponding diminished immune function.

Caution: Some warts can turn into cancerous tumors. If they do not seem benign, consult with a physician immediately.


------------------------------...

Natural Cures

Note: Natural healing of warts may require one to two months of care, with the wart disappearing suddenly in one to three days.

Aromatherapy: Lemon essential oil applied topically can speed healing. Thuja oil is also effective for dealing with warts.

Diet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet, emphasizing foods that are high in vitamin A, such as dark green and yellow vegetables, cold-water fish, eggs, and sulfur, such as onions, garlic, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and broccoli. Avoid all refined and processed foods, sugar, unhealthy fats, and excess animal proteins, as well as milk and dairy products.

Herbs: a.Onions for Warts: Warts have been said to disappear when treated perseveringly with raw onion dipped in salt.

b.Wild Lettuce for Warts: The expressed juice is "much regarded as an application to boils, abscesses and carbuncles, and if put upon warts will cause them to drop off.

c.Garlic for Warts and Moles: Here is a very successful routine for removal of these unwanted growths called moles, or warts. Take a button of garlic, slice or cut in two, and placed the cup area over a wart of mole. Tape it on, and as it dries out put a fresh piece. Many users have reported good results.

d.Cashew Oil: The cashew oil, which must be used with great caution, is used as an application to warts, corns, ringworms, cancerous ulcers.

d.Potassium Deficiency for Warts and Moles: When cysts or tumors grow in places where they can be seen outside the body, often we react by having them cut out. This defeats healing by working on the effect instead of the cause. You can cut cysts out, tumors off, and burn warts off (which are also a potassium deficiency), or get rid of as many moles as you wish, but unless you go to the cause, they will grow back again, and you may end up with as many or more cysts, tumors, moles as before. Different signs of potassium deficiency will keep popping out on the body because the condition that needs correcting is on the inside. You have to go into the cause, Dr. Christopher always insisted, which is the way we have been eating.Potassium sources: There are several ways to receive your potassium. Dr. Bernard Jensen sells a potassium broth made from dehydrated vegetables. Dr. Bronner makes a similar, excellent product. You can also make your own potassium broth by simmering equal parts of red potatoes, celery, carrots, onions, and herbs to taste. Raw vegetable and fruit juices also flood the system with potassium.

Best of health to you

Cheers

you need duct tape, not masking tape. you cover the wart with it and it disappears in a few days. At least, that's what I heard. Never tried it though.

No, you can go to the store and buy something to freeze it then pick it off. Masking tape is not strong enough.

I don't believe you can with masking tape, but I heard duct tape works.

No. I don't think so. Those OTC things don't work! Go to the doctor and have it removed. The safest way!
