Removing Warts
Using Vinegar

Before purchasing any over the counter drugs for removing warts, consider trying this very simple and natural home remedy using Apple Cider Vinegar or White Vinegar.

You can get rid of warts by following a simple and inexpensive regime before going to bed each night:

wash the infected area thoroughly with soap and water or rubbing alcohol
dip a cotton ball in vinegar and press it against the wart
secure the ball to the wart with a bandage or medical tape
put on a clean sock so the bandage will not be disturbed while you are sleeping
when you wake up in the morning discard the bandage so you do not spread the virus
wash the infected area thoroughly with soap and water or rubbing alcohol
pat the area dry and put duct tape (not regular tape) over the wart
keep the duct tape in place all day then discard it and repeat the above steps each night for a couple weeks
the wart should turn black
repeat the steps above for 2 additional days then stop applying the vinegar
continue with the duct tape for another week and you should be able to pry the wart off with a pin

Note: during this process try not to let the wart come in contact with any other part of your body as it is highly contagious and could spread.

I have also heard of using nail polish instead of duct tape but I believe this is just to stop the spread of the virus. Duct tape seems to pull the toxins from your skin which helps speed the healing process.

Following these simple steps should get rid of warts within a few days if you follow them consistently.

How Does it Work?

If you look at over the counter remedies for warts you will see that that the main ingredient is salicylic acid.

Vinegar is acetic acid which is gentler on your skin than salicylic acid but since it is still an acid it behaves the same way. Your wart will turn black and eventually fall or get peeled off.
