Natural treatments for warts have a proven record for succeeding. These all natural treatments will not work overnight, but they will work much faster than just leaving them alone to go away on their own.

Within 6 months, a quarter of all warts will go away on their own. But as many as one third will stay around for 2 years after they have first appeared.Warts are often stubborn in children, as their immune systems are still developing.

Wash the area before the treatment and again after. Dip a cotton ball into ACV and place on the wart. Cover with a band-aid for 24 hours at a minimum. The wart will be removed within a few weeks.

· Duct tape- Place a small piece of duct tape over the wart for 6 straight days. Replace the tape as needed. After 6 days, soak the wart in water, then use an emery board or pumice stone to go over the wart. The next day, start the treatment over, repeating for 2 months, or until the wart has disappeared.

· Bananas– Apply the inside of a banana peel to the wart to help remove. You should do this a few times per day to have the best luck. You may also wish to place the inside of the peel on the wart, and then tape into place at bedtime. Remove in the morning and wash the area off.
