There are several products out there for wart removal, from creams to kits that let you freeze them off with liquid nitrogen. While these methods work more often and faster than natural methods, they can be unpleasant to use if you have sensitive skin. Here are a few things you can try before buying a wart cream to remove genital warts at home.
Garlic
To use garlic, you will need a whole clove of garlic, not the pre-diced, pickled kind. You will also need vitamin E oil. If you are having trouble finding vitamin E oil, you can use fish oil instead. Fish oil is very high in vitamin E, so you will still get the same results. The last thing you will need to get is some gauze to wrap it all up.
For this method, you will need to rub the oil onto the wart. Once you have applied a fairly generous amount of oil, crush the garlic clove. The finer it is ground, the better, then spread it onto the wart and wrap it in gauze. The gauze will make sure everything stays in place. You can also use tape, but it is going to be difficult to get it to stick with all the oil on the skin. Leave this for 48 hours, then repeat. This method can take a few weeks before you see results.
Witch Hazel
This is another great, natural method. Witch hazel works by cutting off blood flow to the wart. By doing this, it will cause the wart to shrink, and eventually self-amputate and just fall right off. Ideally, for this method, you will use liquid witch hazel, but gel or cream will work as well. They will, however, take longer than a liquid.
Using witch hazel is super easy. Just put a generous amount on your warts and leave it on for 10 minutes, then wipe it off. Do this twice a day for two weeks, and your warts should fall off and heal up.
These are just a few natural methods of wart removal, but if you have stubborn warts, then you may have to use an over the counter solution. If you are worried about the chemicals in the creams, then grab a freezing kit. These use liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart off, so you do not have to worry about rubbing anything into your skin.
