OK, I am warning you that this is REALLY gross, but my dad heard it and tried it and his warts DID go away, surprisingly... I checked for myself!
He heard to lick them every morning when you get up. Apparently something in saliva kills them... I wouldn't do it, but if you are really desperate, give it a try I guess. Personally, I'd rather live with the wart!

Warts are caused by a virus. I can believe that you've tried everything in the store, but you must have slacked on following through. Dr. Scholl's Wart Remover is fantastic, only if you follow directions. If you don't want to buy anything else, you can use duct tape. Keep it on 24 hours a day. Warts need air to 'survive' , so if you smother them, chances are...they'll go away. Furthermore, you hate doctors? That isn't such a wise way to look at things. Find a naturopathic doctor, because going through life without the knowledge and insight of a physician is foolish. Good luck, dear.

I don't know any home remedies, but I do know that there is something that you can buy. My borfriend gets those all the time and he buys this wart remover, that freezes it like they do at the Dr.'s office, at Wal-Mart and then it is gone in about a week or so. Cutting them off is not a good idea because they can still be spread and it doesn't kill what causes them.

If you hate doctors more than you hate those unsightly warts, then I guess you get to live with the warts. They are caused by a virus and will continue to spread and get larger each time until you go into a dermatologist and have them properly cared for.

GRAY TAPE ! You may never believe this but it does work. I tried it about 15 years ago, I tell anyone who asks.
Then this week on see it in 20/20 or one of those shows.
I have put a strip on, enough to cover and keep it on 24 hours. Change it after your shower daily.
I spent 25 yrs married to a Marine, It worked for all his troop's, and there children. It may take 3 days or 3 weeks but it Will go and never come back. Put a regular bad-aid over it to cover it,, believe me people will ask questions.

Well they want harm you for one. the only choice you have is to go to the doctor because the drug stores doesn't work for things like this. but if you don't know what types of warts they are use gloves when washing so that they doesn't infect your private parts.

If your medical insurance covers seeing a dermatologist, do that. They will freeze the warts.
They do a much better job than the primary care md's cause they freeze longer and deeper and that's what it takes.
