How to know if a wart is dying

Stop when the base of the wart looks exactly like normal skin (i.e. no black dots or ‘graininess). If they become sore or bleed a little just leave off the treatment and carry on the following night.

Also try to keep it off the normal skin. The acid will turn the wart into dead skin (it will turn white).

Unlike a callus, a wart has brown dots in it and has a clear boundary with normal skin around it. Warts are caused by papillomavirus and are harmless actually. Most warts disappear without treatment in two or three years and with treatment they’re gone in two to three months.

Freezing (cryotherapy).

Freezing therapy done at a doctor’s office involves applying liquid nitrogen to your wart. Freezing works by causing a blister to form under and around your wart. Then, the deceased tissue sloughs off within a week or so.

Using super glue on warts turns out to be a patented method that works much the same as duct tape, except that when the glue is removed every 6 days, some of the wart is removed with it.

Don’t rub, scratch, or pick at the wart. Doing so could spread the virus to another part of your body or cause the wart to become infected. Don’t share towels or other personal items with others.
