How much: 6½ days on, 12 hours off, repeated; gentle scraping of dead skin every two weeks; reassess at six weeks.
Show full details & how to prepare it
Occluding a wart under tape softens it and seems to rally the body's own immune attention to the site — interestingly, treating one wart this way sometimes causes other untreated warts to fade too. It is painless, cheap, leaves no scar, and suits children far better than burning or freezing.
Ways to prepare it
⚠️ Cautions
- Do not wrap tape tightly enough to constrict blood flow, especially on fingers and toes.
- Stop if skin under the tape becomes raw or macerated; let it recover before resuming.
- Not for facial or genital warts — have those assessed professionally.
- Diabetic children or those with poor circulation need professional care for foot warts.
