What is the quickest way to remove warts on the hands and fingers?
tjsnfrd asked:
I got a wart on my index finger about two years ago and have tried every over the counter remedy to remove it. The problem is- now I have several smaller warts that have appeared and I cannot get rid of them! Its frustrating and they are sooo unsightly! Got any suggestions on how I can safely and effectively remove them?

Go to the dermatologist for a liquid nitrogen treatment.
You can go to the doctor and have them freezed off - they are gone instantly
If you go to the doctors they will freeze them with liquid nitrogen or 'dry ice'.
This product is available at the pharmacy though, so you may have already tried this.
1. Soak in very hot water every evening for 10 minutes.
2. Immediately after taking them out of the water, rub warts with a pumice stone; not too hard and not too soft
3. Put the wart remover medication on immediately after using the pumice stone.
Repeat daily. It might take a few weeks for them to completely disappear but this is the best at-home method. You can go to the dermatologist but freezing on the fingers is quite painful so I prefer the at-home method.
Good luck.
Laser..see your doctor
You can buy at your local chemist a Wart off stick ( which is made using 'dry ice' ) this will do the job. Follow instructions
