Tape!

I had 2 common warts on my knee, and I read in some magazine that plain old duct tape would suffocate them to death. It worked! I just waited until they were soft after showering, used a pumice stone lightly, just to bring the surface down a little (not painfully), then dried the area really well, and finally covered the warts with duct tape. It was really sticky duct tape, not sure if that had something to do with it. Anyways, even though the magazine said to change it everyday, I left the tape on for like 4 days at a time. Each time, a little skin came off with the tape, but it didn't really hurt, just like pulling off a bandaid. Eventually I had little scabs where the warts were and when it healed, the warts were gone :)
