Remove Warts With Home Remedies

If you want to remove warts with home remedies, you need a lot of patience and consistency. However, this is also the case with drugs from pharmacies.

It is possible to remove warts with home remedies. You just have to use them very consistently and regularly to achieve success. But if you are consistent and patient, you will have the same success with home remedies as with creams, tinctures and other commercial products. Try it out and be consistent!

Can I Remove All Warts Using Home Remedies?

You can remove all warts with home remedies. It doesn’t matter where they appear on the body. Except in the genital area, you should definitely see a doctor.

With the exception of old age warts, which can appear after the age of 50, all different types of warts are caused by a virus. The vast majority of warts are contagious and it is important to protect yourself and others from developing (even more) warts by spreading the virus!

In order not to infect other family members with your warts, you should pay attention to absolute hygiene. While you have the wart, always use your own towel and don’t walk barefoot if you have the wart on your foot.

Wash all textiles that have come into contact with the wart (towels, socks, etc.) at at least 60 ° C and change them frequently. This will also prevent you from infecting yourself with your own wart again!

However, to remove warts with home remedies, you should be very sure that it is really a wart and that there is no other injury or skin disease behind it.

Sometimes harmless skin growths that resemble warts, but are not warts at all, form. The best case scenario is to let a dermatologist make a sure diagnosis. Then you can start using home remedies to remove warts.

Patience always helps

Many viral warts go away all by themselves. The appearance of warts is usually a sign of a weakened immune system that has nothing to counter the virus.

If you ensure a strong immune system and follow the hygiene rules mentioned above, the risk of developing a viral wart is extremely low. If the wart is small and not bothersome, there is also a chance your immune system will win the battle and the wart will eventually go away on its own. Without any creams or home remedies!

citric acid

The tinctures you can get at the pharmacy to treat warts are usually made of lactic acid. The acid softens the wart’s cornea. The softened cornea is then removed from the wart at regular intervals and the acid is used to reach the deeper and deeper layers. You can try this at home too.

Try lemon juice. So that the healthy skin around the wart is not affected by the acid, grease it thickly before use, e.g. with petroleum jelly. Then soak a cut-to-size piece of cotton wool with lemon juice and secure it over the wart with a waterproof plaster.

Repeat morning and evening and regularly scrape off the softened callus on the surface of the wart ! This works well with a pumice stone, preferably after a foot bath. Boil the pumice stone after each use to avoid re-infection by the wart viruses!

acetic acid

Vinegar is also one of the tips you can use to remove warts with home remedies. The application is the same as for lemon juice. Both methods have one thing in common: patience! It takes weeks to soften and remove the entire wart structure layer by layer! An overnight effect is also not possible with tinctures from the pharmacy!

Tinctures and home remedies that work with acid only soften the cornea and physically remove the wart. This does not kill the virus itself! So you are still contagious and susceptible to further infecting yourself. Maintain hygiene and a strong immune system!

Sorbic acid

Sorbic acid originally comes from rowan berries, but is now produced synthetically and used as a preservative for food. In the trade it is known as a “preserving aid” to preserve preserves, jams or other permanent preserves.

Sorbic acid is poorly soluble in cold water, but you can make a tincture with hot water, with which you treat your wart twice a day as described under “Lemon juice”.

Ice spray

In the pharmacy there is ice spray that can cool the skin areas down to -50 ° C. It is important that you only apply the spray directly to the wart in a very localized manner and do not spray the skin over a large area! The wart tissue dies due to the extreme cold. If you use the ice spray over a large area, healthy skin can also die off, so handle it carefully!
