I have an excellent home remedy for removing a wart--but if it's on the foot or warts that are a tiny cluster it won't work. But I had a very large and ugly wart develop on my right forearm (not the muscular side but the flat side) that was detestable for me and even worse, was painful when it was growing. And it was embarrassing. At the time I was about 38 and my friend had a wart frozen off by her dermatologist, but she said it was not only expensive but very painful despite what other people had said. So, I asked my mother-in-law who is a retired registered nurse and she said to go to a drugstore and get cod liver oil (which cost like $1) and put some on a cottonball, dab onto the wart at least twice a day, and keep covered with a band-aid. Gave it a try, and the big ugly wart began shrinking until it was gone after about 3 weeks! Since warts are from a virus, they really are not "curable". And I noticed a few days ago that it seems to be trying to make a second appearance, but so what? All I need is cod liver oil and some cottonballs and band-aids and I'll be good to go! Hope this helped.

Treatment is not needed for most warts. However, if you have warts that are painful or spreading or you are bothered by their appearance, your treatment options include:
Home treatment with a nonprescription salicylic acid or with adhesive tape.
Putting a stronger medication on the wart, or injecting it with medication.
Freezing the wart (cryotherapy).
Surgical removal of the wart (electrosurgery, curettage, laser surgery).
Wart treatment is not always successful. Even after a wart shrinks or disappears, warts may return or spread to other parts of the body. This is because most treatments only destroy the wart and do not kill the virus that causes the wart.

You can remove warts at home, but they may come back, the virus that causes warts is in your blood. There is an over the counter medicine that you can spray on them. I can't remember what it's called and it's about 20 bucks. You've also got to be careful not to get in on the skin around the wart. It works very well though. You can get the stuff at most pharmacies and I've also seen at wal-mart

Moles, warts, and epidermis labels are common epidermis wounds that develop naturally. While they are generally non malignant, they may be awkward if found on an obvious portion like the face. Skin lesions like moles and warts cause self confidence issues to the sufferers. A person with moles normally becomes a loner since they do not wish to be observed in public. They feel uncomfortable to be out in public, therefore despair may naturally follow but now you can modify all of this with this specific guide from here https://tr.im/pySLS , Moles, Warts and Skin Tags Removal eBook.
The author of this eBook, Charles Davidson, is really a practitioner in alternative medicine. He's also an expert in natual skin care, applying normal solutions to remedy several types of skin conditions.

I believe they have a wart remover if you go to your local pharmacy. I think it freezes it and goes away a couple days later. But im not sure how it works exactly.

Treatment
Prescription
Two viral warts on a middle finger, being treated with a mixture of acids (like salicylic acid, brand name Aporil®) to remove them. A white precipitation forms on the area where the product was applied.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 (generally with liquid nitrogen), 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, a chemical found naturally in many members of the beetle family Meloidae which causes dermal blistering.
None of these treatments are very effective on single uses except Cryosurgery; the wart often returns after the skin has healed from the treatment, but repeated treatment should get rid of the wart permanently. As they disappear after a few months and maximally a few years, treatment is necessary only if the lesions are painful or are a cosmetic problem.
One review of 52 clinical trials of various cutaneous wart treatments concluded that topical treatments containing salicylic acid were the best supported, with an average cure rate of 75% observed with salicylic acid compared with 48% for placebo in six placebo-controlled trials including a total of 376 participants.The reviewers also concluded that there was little evidence of a significant benefit of cryotherapy over placebo or no treatment.
Over-the-counter:
There are also several over-the-counter options. The most common ones involve salicylic acid. These products are readily available at most drugstores and supermarkets. There are typically two types of products: adhesive pads treated with salicylic acid, or a bottle of concentrated salicylic acid. Removing a wart with this method requires a strict regimen of cleaning the area, applying the salicylic acid, and removing the dead skin with a pumice stone or emery board. It may take up to 12 weeks to remove a stubborn wart.
Another over-the-counter product that can aid in wart removal is silver nitrate in the form of a caustic pencil, which is also available at drug stores. This method generally takes three to six daily treatments to be effective. The instructions must be followed to minimize staining of skin and clothing.
Over-the-counter cryosurgery kits are also available, however they can often cost 3 times as much as the previously named products.
Like prescription treatments, over-the-counter treatments usually require multiple applications, and are only necessary if the warts are problematic. Additionally, these treatments are capable of destroying healthy skin as well as warts, so caution must be exercised by those attempting them without medical supervision.
Household remedies:
Duct tape occlusion therapy involves placing a piece of duct tape (or medical tape) over the affected area for a week at a time. The procedure is otherwise identical to that of using salicylic acid adhesive pads. One study found that the duct tape method was 85% effective, compared to a 60% success rate in the study's cryotherapy group.Another study, however, found no statistically significant effect.
Other household remedies include the application of common household items, such as bruised garlic (held in place with a bandage or duct tape), banana skin, vinegar, hot water and washing liquid, aerosol sprays, tea tree oil and other natural oils, unskinned potatoes, potato or cauliflower juice, salt, or vegemite to the affected area. Milkweed or dandelion sap is also used. Anecdotal evidence suggests poison ivy can be effective (with extreme care). Accounts vary in regards to how long these remedies must be applied with each session and how long they take to work.
Without controlled studies for most household remedies, it is difficult to know whether the warts disappear because the remedies work, or if they disappear due to the individual's own immune system response to the virus (possibly augmented by a placebo effect). The success of hypnosis in curing warts[6] at least suggests that the condition may be cured by belief in a remedy, the placebo effect or other psychological means.
Some household remedies are potentially dangerous. These include attempts to cut or burn away the warts. Incense is sometimes used in Asian countries to burn warts. These methods are very painful, and can lead to infection and/or permanent scarring.
