Duct tape has been proven to be more effective than either cryo removal,
or any of the wart remover medicines.

Just clean the wart with soap and water, and cover it completely with
duct tape. Leave it on, replace when it gets yucky. In a week, or so,
the wart will be all gone.

Did that, had a stubborn wart that would not respond to salacylic acid. It
gets painful to keep covered constantly, I recommend 6 out of 7 days. Also
don't be surprised if it takes longer than a week. Mine took about a month.
But at least it's gone!

How on earth does that work then? Anyone know the mecanism?

OTOH, the wavelengths they mention in the article are on the short
side for typical IR LEDs, so rather close to visible.

Is that Philips light the same thing they used to put in motel
bathrooms, greasy spoons, chicken incubators etc. ?

As I understand it, the reason that a wart erupts from the surface
of the skin is the virus needs a dryer climate in which to thrive.

Covering the wart with duct tape holds in the skin's moisture, and
wrecks the conditions the wart likes, and it dies.

No, here's that philips lamp:

The light is supposed to penetrate deeper, stimulating

I had physio on my shoulder a few years back, and the IR heat
treatment they used gave temporary relief - as did the ultrasound
treatments - but nothing other than antiinflamatories did anything
that gave relief for more than an hour or so.
Finally changed jobs, and most of the pain went away.

Dontcha know the home remedy for warts? You cut a notch in a stick and
rub it on the wart, and bury it. This works, because much of the healing
is psychosomatic.

If the stick was from a willow, perhaps it might work better. Willows
(genus "salix" - get it?) contain salicylic acid, which is used to remove
warts.

Chewing willow also works to relieve headaches: salicylate is the active
ingredient in aspirin. But aspirin is better, it's got fewer side effects.

I question whether you can psychosomatically heal a wart. But surely, since
some warts resolve of their own accord, if you rub a stick on the wart it
will sometimes go away. Works for other ailments too! Sticks - the miracle
drug! If it doesn't work the first time, try again - eventually it's bound
to work.

Another possibility would be to use white glue then cover with a band aid to

keep the dried glue on.
The glue also this works well for removing cactus spines (the small ones you
cannot see well) just put the glue on the area where the spines are let dry
and peal off. Repeat if a few spines remain

Us desert rats use depilatory wax to remove cactus spines. Apply, let
harden, peel off with all the fine spines.

Then there's the case where one of my dogs tried to get a bug from
between the needles of a barrel cactus. The kind of needle with a
curved end like a hook. My wife had to hold the dog still while I
slid his tongue around the hook and got him loose ;-)

Sealing ductwork is probably one thing that duct tape cannot
do! There are many different grades. The stuff you get at the
local Walmart is useless for its original purpose, but the duct
tape that you get at your local HVAC supplier, is so sticky that if
you wrapped it around your finger, you would "deglove" your finger
if you pulled it too hard!

What spoils the day even for the good HVAC type of duct tape is the
tendency for galvanized ductwork to form a layer of zinc oxide on
its surface after time. This is a white powder, and it foils the
adhesive, just like sprinkling it with talcum would.

How would "NU-Skin" work for covering a wart to
hold in the skin's moisture? I know it works wonders
for blisters, and also keeps you from picking off the
loose skin after you bleed out the fluids from the blister.

I don't think it would work at all. The NU-skin stuff seems
to breath. If it didn't, the moisture would get under the
stuff and make it release.

Use the duct tape, or 3M adhesive tape. It has been tested,
it works, and is "doctor approved".
