Wart Removal

About six months ago, I came across a home remedy for wart removal on Pinterest. This was an awesome find because I had a wart on my wrist that I had my dermatologist burn off last November, but it grew back three times the original size! I tried store bought methods like freeze off and acid applications, but they did nothing! So last June, after my wedding, I tried it out! This simple remedy is the only thing that worked so I'm going to tell you the steps to removing stubborn warts! 

Things you'll need:

- medical tape/bandages

- cotton balls/pads

- apple cider vinegar

Step 1:

Take a cotton pad and rip it to the size you'll need to completely cover your wart. 

Step 2:

Soak it in apple cider vinegar. The generic brand will work just find. 

Step 3: 

Place cotton pad over wart and use medical tape to hold it in place. You can use bandaid bandages as well. I just found that it works better if you trap the moisture so it doesn't dry out. 

Step 4:

Go to bed. This is especially important on day 5 because your wart will start to really hurt and sleeping is a great way to ignore the pain. 

Step 5:

Continue this process until your wart turns black, it will take about a week, and then peel off the wart. The roots should all be dead, but I kept applying the apple cider everynight for about a week more and some roots came to the surface around my wart!

June 26: 

This is a picture of the morning after the first application. Notice that it's beginning to turn black. 

June 27 morning:

Day 2! It's getting darker and harder.

June 27 night:

It's getting really dark! I started applying it every night and morning so it would kill the wart faster. It hurt, but I just didn't use that hand for awhile. 

June 29:

It finally became time to peel it off. 

This is right after I cleaned out the pus. You can see other sores popping up. They popped up without me even having the cotton pad on them so I think they were the wart roots surfacing after they died. 

The wound still looked like it had a bunch of roots in there so I applied the apple cider vinegar for a week or so more. 

July 3:

The wounds still looked suspicious so I applied the treatment over the whole area just in case. 

June 4:

I got really tired of applying the treatment so I took one last picture of the area and then let it heal. 

Gross I know, but it did not grow back! Here it is today November 2!

As you can see there is some scaring, but there is no evidence of wart growth! So if you have a stubborn wart, give this a try! It'll only cost you $5!
