You cover it with duct tape for 6 days. After 6 days, you take the tape off, soak the wart in water and use a pumace stone to gently rub the wart. Leave it alone overnight. the next day cover it with duct tape for 6 days and repeat entire process until the wart disappears. The duct tape is supposed to irritate the skin/wart so your immune system kicks in and attacks it. You can look up more info on line- I think it originated at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.

Unless they are too painful to live with- get used to them.
I've had the same ones frozen and removed then a few years later they are back. I had a planters wart on my foot that they successfully removed, but this was the only one. My doctor told me they were totally harmless, but my employer made me feel disabled with the rude comments. It all depends on you and your situation I guess.

It is said that if you cover it with duct tape, it will be gone in about 12 weeks. This is true, as odd as it sounds.
