I dealt with two warts on my feet. The answer is liquid wart remover over many months. The trick that worked for me was 6 days of application and one day without. The whole idea is to get your skin to grow the wart out. Salicylic acid is the active ingredient in wart remover.

  • On application days, I would put it on after a shower. The liquid medicine will harden up until its dry to the touch. The shell "should" stay put, but you can put a cover on once it dries.
  • On the day without I would use a pumice stone to gently whittle down a layer or two of skin. Don't use the stone anywhere else, it can be infectious.
  • Repeat until the wart is gone.
