Home Remedies for Treating Warts

Warts are growths on the skin caused by a virus. Warts can be treated by various methods and remedies at home. Moles are benign growths that need to be distinguished from skin cancers. Thus, we recommend periodic skin examinations. These exams often help detect skin cancer at an early and treatable stage. There are four main types of these growths caused by a virus:

1) Plantar warts (on the soles of the feet)
2) Hand warts
3) Genital warts
4) Flat warts (which can appear anywhere)

Here are some home remedies for wart removal:

1. Apply vitamin E oil to the surrounding skin, then crush a clove of raw garlic, place it on the wart, and cover it with an adhesive bandage. The raw garlic causes a blister to form, and the wart generally falls off within a week. Apply vitamin E oil to the area to help it heal.

2. Chop one raw onion in a dish, cover with salt and leave overnight. Apply the resulting juice to the warts twice a day, until they disappear.

3. Cut fresh pineapple into thin slices. Apply to warts several times a day until they are gone.

4. Apply the milky juice exuding from the stems of figs and leaves.
