Anyone In The 12% GANG with me???
Yup ;(
I have 1 on all 3 sides of my thumb real close to the nail bed :(
Here. Never had them until I took immuno suprressants
Yeah :(
mEEE
As a legendary man once said: "A real man can fix anything with WD40 and duct tape."
The man amongst men Hank Hill
A REAL man 🤣😜🤪😂
The red green show
My friend , Araldite Ali , said araldite was all a man needed in this life.
🤣🤣🤣
I hate when videos like this don't give a link to the study.
Jake Roosenbloom I hate u jake
It was actually a pretty small study. I'd be interested in seeing it duplicated with a larger sample size. Regardless, the link and results are below:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12361440
RESULTS:
Of the 51 patients completing the study, 26 (51%) were treated with duct tape, and 25 (49%) were treated with cryotherapy. Twenty-two patients (85%) in the duct tape arm vs 15 patients (60%) enrolled in the cryotherapy arm had complete resolution of their warts (P =.05 by chi(2) analysis). The majority of warts that responded to either therapy did so within the first month of treatment.
It was only children.
Jake Roosenbloom iiii
Trust me I have had enough research on this. MMR vaccine works on this. All you need is ask your doctor to give MMR vaccine into the wart.you feel 5 sec pain that's it. it would go away after 15 to 20 days. Use zinc tablets daily after your MMR shot.
One of the worst parts of my chemo treatment was warts. My feet became COVERED in them. Home remedies never worked, freezing never worked, so then we got a surgeon and they removed the skin and did a skin graft. Then the warts grew under them. Now we’re doing a painful laser thing on them. It works kind of, but it’s very slow.
Just read this Michael. I was on Chemo for almost two years and yes, I have one single wart on my right heal that just won't go away. Watching these videos gives me nightmares. I have neuropathy (numbness) on both feet from Chemo.
I find that a white hot nickel rod does wonders for removing warts.
Cody'sLab Why nickel?
it s called a joke
cody pls
I prefer a rather nippy 100° K gold foil ball.
in a vacuum
had decided to have wart on bottom of foot removed by PC one month ago. Thinking more about it and since it was tolerable I decided to give duct tape a try. Bottom of foot ripped 3/4 inch strip and then tore of a new square when it came off or moved on the foot. It's been around three weeks and I've replaced maybe 6 or 7 times. I did not file or treat wart any different than the rest of the foot. It has just about gone away and I no longer feel it when I walk. I'd say about 80 percent gone now. Thanks!
"If you leave them alone, 3/10 will clear within 10 weeks"
Well, I've had my 9 warts for over 10 years.
Update: They are now gone! Only thing that helped for me was a verrutop treatment over the course of 7 months.
TomteNisse you need to trust me but if you use an oil called tea tree oil it heals the skin but yet nobody has used it on verrucas every night you dab the oil on your verrucas and mine went away after 2-3 weeks and I’ve had mine for 4 years and I tried everything people suggested if they don’t go away after a couple of weeks keep persistent.
individual anecdote vs statistical average.
Sorry about that...
6 years in and my warts were worse than ever. Just took a soldering iron to them.
Bloomin Onion well I did that after 2 months with one verruca 😂
Try banana peel, if anyone needs it give it a try it's almost free just do it while sleeping and tape it or wrap it with something (slimy side on the wart) Just a couple of times, at first it will get very wrinkly because of the moisture and will eventually start to dry and fall off. I got rid of one on my thumb that for over a year
Does it really works how many days it takes how to do tht?
Surely you would just slip as you tried to walk 😂😂
thats it? this is the extent of the video? No study details, no simplified ideas on how this actually might work... guys.. I learned nothing!
I had tried all the different methods for my hands and feet and when nothing worked, my doctor sent me to a dermatologist. She used needles to inject a tiny amount of bleomycin into (or possibly under) all the warts and each treatment id lose a few. It worked way better! It was a little painful and often you could get blood blisters under the wart which causes the wart to fall off a few days later. Although personally ive found it no worse that having it frozen. If theyre on your feet you may have a painful time walking for a few days. If nothing else worked for you and you really want the warts gone, its definitely a great option. Sadly there doesnt seem to much information out on the internet about it.
Super glue worked for me.
Thank you!!! I always have issues removing warts, but my little brother went to a specialist in the outskirts when we were in Colombia, who did that, on like 14 warts, and they went off so fast, always wondered what procedure it was.
Please adress because my warts name of treatment
Im confused. What your trying to say? The medication/treatment is Bleomycin which I stated above.
You could also use a small slice of ginger constantly in contact with the wart for around a week. The wart will go black after a few days and then will start disappearing.
Even big and old wart? Mine is very big whole first knuckle pointed finger, and 4 of another fingers and all a lot. It’s been 1 year and 2 months already. Is ginger better than ductape?
Had a similar treatment. Instead of ductape a white paste was used and kept on for 1 day at a time. Treatment lasted for a few weeks.
That's the salicylic acid she mentioned
Just as fast of a solution as duct tape is nail polish! Same principles with not giving the wart any chance to breath but no duct tape on your hands or feet. I personally find it more comfortable to have nail polish on
Yea your right duck tape makes my figure sweat all day and its super uncomfortable i use green tea and Apple cider venger
@RepaidChalice37 So Do You Just Put Nail Polish On It Or No....
How long til yours was gone?
Super glue is more efficient in my opinion. Glue leave for a day exfoliate and repeat. I did it twice daily and mine is gone.
Can you give a link to the study mentioned?
There's no way that piece of tape is gonna stay on after 6 days of mountain biking, working, showering, etc.
Are you incapable of reapplying new tape when it falls off?
@@AlanEoff Are you incapable of listening? They said "keep it on for 6 days", as in, "not falling off for 6 days."
Keep it on as in use the method for 6 days. A few minutes isn't going to stop it from working.
Are you trying to act stupid or are you actually this dumb?
@@AlanEoff Bro... if she expected it to be falling off every day, she would have just made it easier and said "replace the tape every morning." I'm wasn't talking about what SHOULD be done, I was talking about what was specifically said in the video
Got it. Well FYI you might want to use clear nail polish, it's not as noticable and would probably be more washable.
This method worked for me, but I replaced the tape and filed every night. I also put a bandaid on top to keep the tape from moving.
Salicylic acid does not take 3 months... Maybe 3 or 4 weeks max. But that's the point. The method of action is the same - killing and removing all the cells fast enough for the normal cells to outgrow the wart cells.
3 to 4 weeks with noticeable improvement within 2.
Why has mine lasted over a year then
Paul Elliott Go to your doctor for medical advice not a clairvoyant
it doesn't work every time
It's been 5 days since I started using salicylic acid. My toe (area of infection) started swelling and more so after soaking in warm water and filing. Is it normal for the area to swell? Should I continue or go to see my doctor again?
I love reading all the home remedies 🤣🤣🤣
To remove a wart, drink some bacon 🥓 grease. While singing a Michael Jackson song. And hop on one foot for 3 days while keeping the wart in ur left pocket. It should fall off in a little while.
Had a good laugh visualizing what you suggested.
I was troubled by warts on my fingers and hands from 16 - 18 yrs old. I would say around 8 warts or so on my hands. I woke up one morning and they were all gone and no trace of them! Weird.
gollumondrugs its a known glitch, devs dont care to fix it cause most clients wont report this bug, too embarrassing
Happened to me this. Had loads. Woke up and they had gone just before I was due to visit the cryo people
Evn me im facing d same problem. I hav warts in my Hand which s quite in no. So, can u pls tell me some ideas to get rid of it. Pls🙏
I pray that this will happen to me 😂
Thats yours immune system that jumped in.
Most warts create a natural immune response with in 2 years.
When this finally happens, Your wart will suddenly get a bit swollen, might itch for a week or so - and then everything disappears naturally.
Caution - if you suffer from multiple warts, or recurrence of them, see your PMD. just to check your immune system is working properly.
I use apple cider vinegar to treat my warts. I cut pieces of cotton ball about the size of the worts, dip them into the acv and put on the worts, use tape to secure the cotton balls. I do that every night. After about a week, it hurts really bad that it wakes me up at night. When I put my finger on it, I feel like heart beats. However, just think about when getting something off your skin, it’s supposed to hurt.
that happened to me when i used salicylic acid turns out it was infected
I'm going to try your remedy.
I've had for 6 mo. Didn't know what is. Now I know.
Thanks
@@cvmarquez1534 results?
@@Headie0neHi,
It fell of couple weeks ago, I will say It worked. *But* I can't say with 100% of certainty it was a wart, because it never turn black or had black dots on it.
we have to fill the wart with automotive putty for better aesthetics and uniform surfacing...
fidel catsro genius
had to check the date, thought it might of been an april fool!!
i used to make fun of people with warts and now here i am 😌✌🏼
Great info. Finally a video of a wart that looks just like mine in the same location.
Honestly. Did this on a veruca and it really works. I wish I could upload a picture. Amazing. Took around 23 days
I shoot mine, i don't mess about.
Tried this... Worked great ngl ... Now I need to find a video on how to remove scars...
I found the most effective way (although it only works once) is to amputate my arm
What she didn't say was your supposed to rip the tape off of the wart. I just saw a dermatologist say the ripping action is what helps.
I just mixed bicarbonate of soda with castor oil...so it's like toothpaste. Scratched a hole in the wart till it just starts bleeding (sterile needle). Then apply small dollup of the mix to wart, massage in for a minute and put a plaster on it tightly. Change plaster 2 or 3 times a day, try to keep dry. It should swell and get soft and eventually fall off.
This method really works had four warts on my finger doctor removed the first one it came back worst and started spreading read an article that basically told me to use duck tape didnt have it at the time so I used electrical tape left it on there for a hole month they never came back it's been years now
You left the duct tape on for a whole month
@@frankslife7342 right! First of all, ewww! Did you not wash that part of your body for a full month? How did the tape stay on for a month?! 😂
Improve your immune system - I guarantee that all warts will disappear in a short period!
How?
Duct tape on warts disappear better than freezing them. Works in 28 days. Leave on for 6 days then clean & scrub skin & put on duct tape again. Repeat process for 4 weeks in total & warts will be gone.
Easiest method: put some apple cider vinegar on a bit of cotton wool. Place it on the wart and keep it there with a plaster overnight. Repeat for two to three nights. It turns into mush, scratch that off and let it dry. Done.
What do you mean by scratch it off
@@reesehrtz6779 like, clean the residue of the wart that was left behind after the vinegar disintegrates it.
don't ever do this. it will cause a chemical burn to the rest of the surrounding skin. this is the worst thing you can do.
@@damienwarlock it is the only thing that worked for me. Tried topical treatment, antivirals, freezing, burning and cutting.
@@reesehrtz6779 it turns into a white mushiness like feta cheese, then just scratch that off. :)
am i the only one that keeps on picking at it
I use duct tape for 4 weeks. I change it after i take shower. Do it everyday until week 3 i saw the warts stick to the tape when i pull it off because i want to change to new tape. I keep taping it until week 4 just to make sure the root is dead to.yeah you can change it everyday. No need to wait for 6 days.
Sorry. I am still learning english. Tried my best to make you understand
is it gone yet?
@@okaymalaikaa yup. Its gone
Aaron Ammar oh great. Was it a planter wart?
@@okaymalaikaa yup
I have warts and have had them frozen off numerous times but they always return. Any idea or solutions you've found that keep it away?
Home freezing is garbage & never works 🤷🏻♀️ what made all my warts vanish was using compound W and duct tape!
Baking Soda mixed with coconut oil into a paste took away a year long wart on my finger. Tried the tape, acid, compound w to no avail. Gone in 3 days.
I did this so many times and I can confirm that it works.
I’ve had one on my foot for 10 years now and it’s not even a bump anymore
great vid thanks! how do i disinfect things from it though? alcohol?
Tried freezing many times then acid and then duct tape, none worked. The acid came closest, but ended up bleeding and got infected on the good skin around the warts. Had to stop treatment. I also got infection with freezing as well. So went and got some wart removal dots and 3 out of the 5 warts have dropped off in just a couple of days. No bleeding, no infection. The dots prevent the acid from going on the good skin.
What's the brand of Duct tape? What if the glue on some duct tape is toxic?
I want to know how it works. Like what about covering a wart with tape kills it.
I think because it lacks oxygen
Wart needs oxygen to grow plus the irritation causes your immune system to focus more on it
Thank you soo much for making this video i really needed it
I tried cutting mine off (it’s on my finger) over a year ago ... yeah bad idea( it started bleeding and has never gone away) 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Hey do you by any chance do pole dance? I do - have a wart on my thumbs for about 4 yrs now 😭 i think that’s got something to do with it as it’s in the exact place i hold the pole
@@emmaatkinson92 I’m not a pole dancer but I am a dancer and by the way I tried the dr scholls band aid things and it worked it came off in a week
u shouldve cut the roots too
Treatment like that is painful and could cost alot but before you do that try my method and thanks me later. its super cheap and not painful and you dont need to apply any chemical toxic on your body.
Tomato juice and paste have been used successfully in removing human skin corn or warts, because of the presence of organic acids in them (tomato juice and paste of green and red ones). I had bigger than this warts I make it dry with unripe tommato, it dry out so fast and dropped ( just put a pieace of tommato on it and bandage it , everyday wash it and do it for 2-3 days and you will see miracle
What do you do if you've had one for 16 years?
i had a wart on my pinkie knuckle once. To remove it, i scraped it along the brick walls over the course of weeks until the little black seeds were visible. I plucked out the seeds and the wart eventually vanished.
h7opolo same place to me
Best way to remove them has been around for thousands of years. Cut a raw potato or onion in half, then rub the wart with the inside of the potato or onion. Repeat everyday for a week, twice a day and it should be gone.
I had one on the bottom of my big toe. I used clearasil face pads with salicylic acid at least once a day and it was already going away within 2 weeks
Nice!
Simple lemon applied to a plaster will have it gone in a week. No scar, no pain.
just having it in warm water for a while and getting the dead skin off works, acid makes it much faster. i got rid of one that survived several nitrogen tretments in a couple of weeks
Thuja oil from the Western Red Cedar, not called the Tree of Life for nothing :D
I want to appreciate Dr.Anii on TH-cam for curing my genital warts with his natural Roots and herbs I'm so Grateful sir God bless you
I sliced the tip off of the wart and ripped the core out with tweezers, hurts a fair bit but went away after two or three days
has it came back or is it still gone?
@@greg01286 still gone
Thank you for a informatice explaination 😊😊
My local clinic advised a similar method, however with some ointment under some bandaid. That was twenty or so years ago. It worked but slowly to my mother dismay that she had them cut it off.
i've had one for 24 years i had it off my nephew he's 26 i held his hand and thats how i got it. ive tried everything from freezing to duct tape to gels.
Use apple cider vinegar. Get a cotton ball wet with it and cover it over the wart overnight. Do this every night until you notice it dying off
Story time about 2 years ago I had a whole cluster of warts on my hand and it was awful
Eventually after treating it with 2 products my dad put ducked tap on it and it come off soon i cried because I had that cluster for a year and a half I but now I have warts again but I definitely recommend ducked tape
That's duct tape,not ducked tape.fyi.
Where is the study? How to make sure that the tape doesn't contain any toxic substances?
Thank You And Godbless
Since this is now a competition... My wart is so big it has started YouTubing how to remove me.
😂
20 years....relentless
I want to appreciate Dr.Anii on TH-cam for curing my genital warts with his natural Roots and herbs I'm so Grateful sir God bless you
wow cool
I literally tried it all... in the end I cut the wart off with a knife deep in my hand.. and my hand healed and it never same back...
SAME
Why didn't you show a section on how it fell off.... Using the method?
Duct tape doesn’t work- hence why we didn’t see it fall off at the end.
How much to file off? Keep going till it bleeds a lil ?
I have a dozen warts on my hand and some under my nails and it makes me feel insecure sometimes. I got them frozen but they seemed to grow still and at this point I’m giving up and just going to live with it for the rest of my life
I was prescribed to drink 3 month echinacea - natural imune booster. it helped for 90%
Differin 2x daily (morning and night, just let it dry) and they’ll be gone within a month. Not sure about the ones under the nails, but it’s available over the counter at any drugstore. Thank me later (:
@@tannereley im going to try it worth a shot !
@@hunchojack5143 did you get rid of them? I had a bunch of plantar warts on my foot that I lived with for years. They eventually got to the point where they were interfering with walking, so I went to the dermatologist. I had to have them frozen every couple of weeks for about 8 months. They finally died all at once. It was weird. I even had one on my hand that wasn't being treated that died at the same time. It's like my immune system finally decided to kick in. That was over ten years ago, and I'm still wart free. I hope you had the same luck.
Most important thing of all in any treatment of warts is consistency. Duck tape every day is vital.... Your can't give the wart a chance to heal.
I've had this wart for 3 years so I hope this works!
Did it work
@@big-fatdumpy-head4482 honestly that fact that i have to take showers more often because of how i played soccer might have ruined it, but that's just coming from me so...
Did it works ?
I’ve had mine for 4 years
Does is really work? Anyone?
In the Army I had painful warts on my hands (only on my tour to Kosovo). I just burned them with a cigarette and cut them off...or rather, I had a friend cut them off. I'm lucky it didn't get infected, but it worked.
What’s that scraper they use?
After taking a bath, try cutting some garlic in half, then rub it at your warts.
i got plantar and periungual wart and it vanished after 3-4 days.
Really? Can you explain better what process did you follow?
Bhai how is it possible plz tell me
My warts were burned off when I was a kid, hurt like a bitch. And had to have multiple treatments for the same wart. It was a slow process.
I found that turmeric powder and Thin sliced garlic coverd by banana peel bandage- keeping it on 3 nights alternately I.e. one night on one night off makes it fall off end of the week.
Sharif Hamid has it worked for you & did the wart come back?
@@lushnails8989 I used it for my 8 year old son. It never came back.
I'm among the the unlucky 15%. Wart in the heel. Nothing worked including duct tape for ages, nitrogen (5+ times), over the counter solutions.
1 year later, has your wart been treated?
Has anything worked? 😣
hi guys, just seeing that now. No. And I stopped caring. It's not painful and if you don't know it's there, it's almost invisble.
@@r3dp1ll aw wow so does it mean shrank?
@@angelicalee6 no it's in the heel. Deep in the callus. I will just cut / shave time to time the top part.
what about multiple warts on hand around 30 warts? what is the best way to treat them?
i have had wart since was 4 and l am 16 and they still didn't go away HELP!!!
i removed a small one in a day. Using hydrochloric acid. Soaked a piece of paper towel (ball shaped) preased enough of the acid out of the ball so it wouldnt drip. put it on the wart and kept checkig it every 20 mins. The wart turned white and i could remove the hole thing. No pain. But be carefull with it
I'll give this a try. Thanks.
Dr Onoga have the follow medicine to cure it contact him +2348140830260..
The liquid nitrogen treatment is hell! I had one as a kid and it was an awful experience
When I was a boy I would go to the swimming baths, good place to get verocas. My dad would take a knife and gently scrape the end of where the wart was then with some twesers gently pull it out.
I want to appreciate Dr.Anii on TH-cam for curing my genital warts with his natural Roots and herbs I'm so Grateful sir God bless you
i have wart on my right foot in the middle finger, for the first time i've felt that there's a bump in my finger of my foot i just ignored it but after few month it became bigger so i was concerned a little bit and then it became painful too,
my mother told me a solution for this, she said just burn it with charcoal just press it with the glowing part of the charcoal until u feel the heat then take the charcoal for a bit then press it again with charcoal repeat this process for few day until it came out it self
I’m not putting duct tape on my face.
How can I apply liquid nitrogen if it’s on my lip ?
Crafty Libra see a doctor
I gotta try this
Triple-strength garlic tablets! Believe me they work. 😇
Where do you get it from?
sarah amin, I get mine from Woolworths. You won't be sorry. ✔️
Why did i get an add about duck tape when i was watching this lol
Do you know how I got rid of mine I clipped it off with nail clippers
i was at the dermatologist, and they froze it and it is still here
Me too. 😭
Does it actually work?? I NEED to know
Vinegar and bakeing soda
I’m going to try this I’ll edit when and if it works
Bethany107 YT well did it?
FUG_Fusion it killed them
The fastest way of getting rid of warts is 24 hours by using a:
1. soldering iron
2. Neosporen
3. And a band aide
hahaahaa
Might have to try it 😂
I recommend going to the doctor
Chef Samy not all Doctor can get rid off or heal disease. Doctor cuts it off. And it will grow back.
Potato and vinegar!
I had a big one on my elbow when i was a kid that would never go away than finally i used freeze away than covered it with duck tape for a few days and it came off with the duct tape when i pulled it off
