Apple cider vinegar works wonders. a wart is a kind of fungus, the apple cider vinegar will bring back the ph balance to your skin. for my son who had many warts on his hands i would put the vinegar on a bandaid over the wart everyday. before going to school so he wouldn't have bandaids all over, i would make him soak for 1 minute his hands in vinegar. his warts turned black and fell off within a week. Aloe vera gel also works well and is probably gentler for someone who is irritated by the acid from the apple cider vinegar. both remedies work very well but takes awhile for results.

This remedy is for the type of warts you get on your hands, the type that has a cauliflower-like texture. Cover the wart with iodine as many times as possible throughout the day, and keep doing this for about two weeks after the visible signs of the wart have disappeared. It will kill the wart and the surrounding skin cells painlessly. I believe it will also prevent the wart from spreading to other places. You should get the kind of iodine that is orange/brown in color - it is more powerful than the clear stuff. Also, be careful not to use this bottle of iodine for anything other than warts!

Ingredients: One vitamin E capsule Prick the Vitamin E capsule; spread the oil onto the wart(s); cover the area and leave on overnight (i.e. with socks for the feet, or a glove if on the hand, band-aid if another place). May have to do this for awhile... I did not keep track of time. I had a lot of warts on the bottom of my feet for a long time; so I started putting Vitamin E on them, as instructed above. I couldn't stand to look at them, so I didn't notice when they disappeared. But one day I looked at the bottom of my feet, and the warts were completely gone and have never been back.

At 3:00am, or when no one is around. Cut a white potato in half, leaving the skin on it. Rub the potato on the wart thoroughly saturating the area. Take the potato half you just used and take it outside and bury it in the dirt about 3 inches under where no one will notice. Come inside and throw away the other half of the potato. Don't utter a word of this to anyone else. Your wart will disappear soon. Believe it, it's utterly true!
