Popular remedies include apple cider vinegar, garlic, banana peel, tea tree oil, aloe vera, and duct tape. These methods are thought to work by irritating or softening wart tissue, or by using antiviral or antiseptic properties that may help over time.
Natural treatments usually require patience and daily use for weeks or even months. It is also important to watch for irritation, keep the area clean, and avoid picking at the wart so it does not spread.
While some people find these remedies helpful, not every wart responds to them. If a wart is painful, large, in a sensitive area, or does not improve, it is best to get advice from a healthcare professional.
