Most people have had at least one wart during their lifetime. These ugly little bumps often found on the hands are actually benign tumors caused by a virus. Warts are not generally harmful and they are only contagious by direct contact but they certainly are not attractive.
The most common treatments are non-prescription commercial preparations found in drug stores, applying salicylic acid to the warts, or visiting the doctor to have him or her freeze the wart with liquid nitrogen. What can be frustrating to people prone to warts is that no wart treatment works well consistently. Freezing warts off is also painful.
Surprisingly, putting a simple piece of duct tape over the wart seems to work just as well as other remedies. Since duct tape is found in most homes already, it’s a handy, inexpensive treatment method that cannot do any harm. You wear the duct tape over the wart for 6 days and leave it off for a day. Repeat this for one or two months as needed. Thankfully, duct tape now comes in many colors and patterns so there’s no need to walk around wearing silver duct tape.
Naturally, you should not use duct tape to treat genital warts.
