Now let’s look at some wart-fighting tips on how to get rid of them!
Apple cider vinegar: soak a small piece of sterile cotton wool in apple cider vinegar. Place the soaked cotton wool on the sprout and wrap it with gauze to keep it on overnight. A plantar wart can also be removed in this way.
Repeat the method if necessary. After 3-5 days the wart will turn black and peel off without bleeding or scarring. When it is black, stop applying the apple cider vinegar poultice! Do not pick it, let it fall off by itself! Since apple cider vinegar is a strong acid, apply Vaseline to the skin around the wart!
Oregano oil: it has a strong antibacterial effect and is also antiseptic. It also helps to get rid of warts quickly (about 1 month). Mix 4-6 drops of coconut oil and 2-3 drops of oregano oil and apply as a compress on the growths three times a day. It dries out the growth, which will also fall off on its own.
Tea tree oil: antibacterial, antifungal, also dries out the growth. Soak a clean cotton pad in water, add 3 drops of tea tree oil. On clean and dry skin, gently massage the growth and its area with the tea tree oil cotton pad 3 times a day.
Lemon juice: a powerful antiseptic that helps dry out the skin. Drip half of a fresh lemon onto a cotton pad. Put the cotton wool on the skin, leave it on, but don’t wash it off! You can repeat this method 3 times a day until the wart falls off.
Garlic: fresh garlic also has antifungal and antibacterial properties, improves skin health and dries skin growths. Crush four fresh garlic cloves into a pulp and apply to the skin. Put a bandage on it to keep it in place. Sooner or later the wart will fall off.
It is possible to remove a hanging wart at home, but you should be careful. Apple cider vinegar for a hanging wart is a popular home treatment. To use apple cider vinegar, take a small amount and apply it directly to the hanging wart.

Apple cider vinegar for warts reviews in general
People who use apple cider vinegar generally claim that using the vinegar over a longer period of time can make warts smaller and less noticeable. The vinegar is usually applied directly to the wart with a cotton ball or cotton swab and then applied to the skin as a poultice. Vinegar poultices are usually left on the skin overnight.
