Best way to remove a wart?

[Urban Sports]

Being a bit of an OCD kind of bloke when it comes to cleanliness I am pissed off to have contracted a wart on my finger, probably from shaking the hand of some mouth breather during my duties at work

I've tried the over the counter gel stuff but the bd will not go, it's pissing me off now, it's actually in a place that gets major use so hurts when pressure is applied!

Has anybody used a fail safe product that they can recommend or does anybody have any other remedies to rid myself of this curse?

Bazuka does work but you have to give it time.

A wart is a sign of low immunity. Also, you're a witch.

I'm as strong as an ox and am a wizard, how long with the bazuka?

Did the wart go hard?

If you are as healthy as you say, the wart is a figment of your imagination. Or you're a witch.

I've been treating it with boots wart gel stuff for a couple of months, it is hard now.

It could be a figment of my imagination, I've not been the same since I took the wart get orally, I am a wizard's sleeve.

You need to get a Qualified Medical person to stick some liquid nitrogen on it and freeze it off, it will then drop off or out in about a week.

Do not cut it off ( it will bleed like hell ) and do not burn it off with a cigarette or a soldering iron (Painfull and it will get infected).

Chemist remedys are not that effective IMO.

Tried all of the above in the past and the first one is the best solution.

Gaffa tape and banana skin are your friends. Google it, more effective than a lot of the over the counter stuff. Takes about six weeks to work but I've got rid of two verrucas that way

Not all GP surgeries will freeze warts, mine doesn't. Bazuka does work, keep applying it for a few days before removing it then go again, be more ruthless than the directions state.

Angle grinder will do the job.

I snipped one off years ago with some nail scissors. Didn't work. Ended up getting it frozen off at the doctor's - 'tis the only way that really works.

It should go hard and you can file it off without any pain. The medicine contains something to kill the germs.

If you took it orally, your tongue would go hard and numb. This may make you popular amongst the ladies.

I used to know a lad who had them all over his hands. He ate parsley sprigs and after a month or so they all went away. He had tried everything too.

I had one on my thumb 20 odd years ago. I tried all of the over the counter stuff to no avail. I'd tried cutting it off and grinding it down with a bench grinder. ( yes really ) I gave up trying to get rid of it in the end and resigned myself to being stuck with it

I eventually did get rid of it quite by accident. I had been bitten in the process of trying to separate two dogs fighting so went to A&E for a tetanus , within days the wart had started to diminish and within weeks it had gone completely with no scar or trace of it's existence

It may have been a total coincidence , I don't know , but I can't think of anything else other than the vaccination that would have made it go

I bit one off my arm once. Bled like billy-o.

I need to go to a dag fight.

I had loads on my hands as a teenager. Got them burnt off in hospital, they used a sort of soldering iron with a pointy needle. When I woke up, I noticed they had missed one on the sole of my foot. They gave a quick local jab and removed it while I watched, the smoke and smell of burning flesh were not nice.

[Happy82]

You want to grip it with pliers, twist it repeatedly to remove and then salt it to finish it off. You may need to use a belt sander to remove any leftover wart edging, again salt this and spray on a little wd40 to make the smell of burning wart a bit nicer.

Quite a few places aren't freezing them off any more. Salicylic acid is brilliant, OTC stuff isn't.

Kitchen scissors worked fine for me, it was a biggie. You need to get rid of all of it though.
