HELP! wart....ew.

I have had a small skin coloured wart on my toe for as long as I can remember. I have tried ABSOLUTELY everything I can think of to get rid of it but it always comes back. Does anyone have a fool proof way or a home remedy to get rid of a wart for good? Thanks for any suggestions!

Hello,
There are many ways or removal of a wart. In some people, treatment methods like several medications(like podophyllum resin, Podofilox (Condylox), Trichloroacetic and bichloroacetic acids, Imiquimod 5% cream and interferons) are available, which can be applied directly to the surface of the warts. Other treatment options include electrical cautery, surgical removal, Carbon dioxide laser treatment and electrodesiccation.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
