Warts are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which has over 100 types. Different types affect people in different ways, usually depending on the strength of their immune system. Some strains (like the one that causes common warts) are relatively harmless, while others can pose much more serious problems. Because warts are caused by a virus, they can be spread to other parts of your body and to other people as well. If mainstream methods have not worked for you (or you’d rather avoid treatments involving strange chemicals) try some of these straightforward home remedies for warts instead. They may not seem particularly extraordinary, but that makes them all the better in my opinion.
The potato method absolutely does work! I am 63 yrs old and have used this method many times on myself, and family. All you do is cut an unpeeled potato in half and rub half of the raw potato on the wart, then throw it away in the yard. Has worked for me every single time. Hope this helps someone.
