5 Tips on How To Get Rid of Warts
1. Make sure it's a wart. Warts (except the small, smooth flat wart) commonly have a broken surface filled with tiny red dots (the blood vessels supplying the wart.). When in doubt, see your doctor. And if you are diabetic, do not try any home therapy for wart removal; always see your doctor.
2. Don't touch. The wart virus can spread from you to others, and you can also keep reinfecting yourself. So keep the virus's travels to a minimum by not touching your warts at all, if possible. If you do come in contact with the lesions, wash your hands thoroughly in hot water.
3. "C" what you can do. Vitamin C is mildly acidic, so it may irritate the wart enough to make it go away. Apply a paste made of crushed vitamin C tablets and water only to the wart, not to the surrounding skin. Then cover the paste with gauze and tape.
4. Heat it up. One study found that soaking plantar warts in very hot water was helpful because it softens the wart and may kill the virus. Make sure the water is not too hot, or you may burn yourself.
5. Keep your feet covered. Warts leak virus particles by the millions, so going shoeless puts you at risk for acquiring a plantar, or foot, wart. Locker rooms, pools, showers in fitness centers, even the carpets in hotel rooms harbor a host of viruses—not just wart viruses. You can catch any of a number of infections, from scabies to herpes simplex. The best protection: footwear.
