Warts are usually harmless but easy to ignore until they become persistent. Many people try simple home remedies like apple cider vinegar, garlic, banana peel, tea tree oil, aloe vera, or even duct tape.
These methods may help by slowly breaking down wart tissue or triggering the body’s response—but they require consistency and patience, often taking weeks or months. Results vary, and not all warts respond.
Avoid picking at warts, watch for irritation, and keep the area clean. If a wart is painful, spreading, or doesn’t improve, it’s best to seek medical treatment.
