Hey everyone, I was wondering about warts. i have two bubbly-like things, one on my ankle, one on my knee. I'm mostly likely sure they're warts, I can't go to get them checked out. DOn't ask. But I but this thing, it was like 20+ dollars, like the most expensive wart remover thing there was on the shelf, it was supposed to freeze the wart off, but it hasn't been working. Anyone have any experinces with warts or know any information on how to get rid of them? Thanks in advance. I rate well. =)

All i did was go to the doctor and they froze it off for me with dry ice. I used alot of store bought products...NONE Of them worked. A couple of months after you get it frozen it will start to go away. They can re accur though. My dermatologist said that warts is a virus. Once you have it it doesnt go away. When they start to disappear you still have the virus and they can recurr...thats pretty much all i know about the topic. You can look it up online too...

They're like circular bandaids with little packets of medicine in the middle, combining those with drops still took a few weeks to get rid of them, but that's better than just keeping them I guess.

Yes, you heard that right, duct tape. [ RoadkillSalad's advice column | Ask RoadkillSalad A Question ]
Karen answered Friday March 25 2005, 9:25 pm: I used to have a small one when I was little and my mom bought a wart remover that was in a small, clear, glass, copper bottle that came with a brush and I would apply it on the wart and would put a bandaid over it. That's how it went away. Keep on applying the remover to the wart. It will go away eventually.
