Warts are harmless growths on the skin. They are caused by infections with the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are contagious. They may heal on their own, but it may take weeks, months or years. Conventional treatments include chemical peels, surgery, freezing, and laser surgery, but these treatments can be expensive and cause skin irritation. Another option is to try natural remedies.
Apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is an acidic substance obtained from fermented apple juice. It is thought to work like salicylic acid, a common wart treatment, that removes the infected skin by removing it. Vinegar also has natural antimicrobial properties that may help fight HPV, but more studies are needed.
To try it, mix 2 parts apple cider vinegar and 1 part water. Soak a cotton ball in this mixture. Place it on the wart and cover it with a bandage. Leave it for three to four hours.
Always dilute apple cider vinegar with water. Acidity can cause irritation and chemical burns. Also, don’t apply it on open wounds.
Banana peel
Anecdotal evidence suggests that banana peel is one of the natural remedies that may help get rid of warts. If you want to try it, cut a piece of banana peel and tape it over the wart before bed so that the inside of the peel touches your skin. Leave it on while you sleep and repeat this process for a few days.
Garlic
Garlic has a long history of being used to heal skin conditions such as psoriasis, keloid scars and ringworm. It is also used for bacterial, fungal and viral infections such as warts. In an older study from 2014, garlic extract got rid of warts in four weeks. The warts have not returned.
Allicin, a key component of garlic, has antimicrobial effects and is often studied for its antiviral and immunomodulatory properties.
To treat warts with garlic, crush 1 clove and mix it with water. Apply to the wart and cover with a bandage. Repeat daily for three to four weeks. You can also apply garlic juice or rub a clove on the wart.
Orange peel
Another popular wart remedy is orange peel. It is an inexpensive option, but there is no scientific data to support it.
This remedy involves rubbing an orange peel on the wart once a day. The wart is supposed to change color, darken, then fall off. This can take two weeks or more.
Pineapple
Pineapple is rich in bromelain, a mix of protein-digesting enzymes that can help remove dead skin cells and damaged skin.
Although there is some data supporting bromelain’s potential effectiveness in treating a few medical conditions, there are no scientific studies to support its use to remove warts.
People have reported success in removing warts using pineapple juice in several ways. One method is to soak the wart in pineapple juice every day. Another technique is the daily application of fresh pineapple.
Potato
People claim that potato juice can “dehydrate” a wart, but there are no studies on its effectiveness.
To try this method, cut a small potato in half. Rub the cut side on the wart until it is covered with potato juice. Repeat twice a day.
Warts usually go away on their own, but natural wart remedies can help speed up the process, write the Healthline.
