Natural remedies for removing warts have gained popularity because they use simple, easily accessible ingredients. While scientific proof is limited, many people report success with these methods at home.
One of the most common natural treatments is apple cider vinegar. Its key ingredient, acetic acid, is thought to help break down wart tissue and fight the virus that causes warts.
To try this, soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and place it directly on the wart. Secure it with a bandage to hold it in place overnight. In the morning, remove the bandage and rinse the area with water. Repeat this process daily. Over time, the wart may darken, shrink, and eventually fall off. Results can vary depending on the wart’s size and location.
Be sure to watch for skin irritation. If the treated area becomes very red or painful, stop the treatment to allow the skin to heal.
This remedy is affordable and easy to use but isn’t guaranteed to work for everyone. Some warts may need professional medical care.
Always consult a healthcare provider if you have any concerns or if the wart does not improve.
