How to Remove a Wart With Duct Tape

Removing a Wart With Duct Tape

Warts are common, and the fastest and easiest way to remove them is with duct tape. Here are the steps you need to take to get rid of a wart with duct tape.

Steps

1. Clean the area around the wart with soap and water.
2. Let the area dry for approximately 10 minutes.
3. Cut a piece of duct tape slightly larger than the wart.
4. Stick the duct tape firmly over the wart.
5. Wait for six days then remove the duct tape.
6. Gently scrub the wart with a pumice stone or an emery board.

Tips

• Repeat these steps up to two times a week until the wart has gone.
• Apply new duct tape each time. Reuse of the same duct tape may increase your risk of spreading the wart.
• If the wart does not go away after a month, make an appointment to see a doctor.
