Warts are usually painless, but can cause itching and burning if they are in high-friction areas.
There are many different kinds of warts, including common warts, flat warts, plantar warts, and genital warts. The common wart is generally raised and dome-shaped with a rough, grayish-brown surface.
Wart Symptoms:
Warts come in various shapes and sizes and usually appear as rough elevations on the skin. These elevations appear more frequently on the fingers, elbows, knees, face, and scalp. Those that appear on the soles of the feet are called plantar warts. They are very painful and the sufferer is not able to walk properly.
Causes of Warts:
All warts can spread from one part of your own body to another. They may spread from one person to another, but this is uncommon. Treatment is available if you do not like how the wart looks or if it is painful.
Warts Remedies:
- As a natural wart remedy, few things are more natural than potatoes. Try rubbing freshly cut raw white potatoes on the warts several times a day. You should see results in a couple of weeks.
- Fresh Aloe Vera juice is applied directly to dissolve warts and tone the skin.
- White Household Vinegar & Baking Soda: Sprinkle a heavy coat of baking soda on the area then drizzle vinegar over it. Do this once in the morning and once at night.

- The fresh plant, sap (figs) or concentrate (papain) can be applied; any of these can be taped to the skin for several hours.

- Place a small amount of toothpaste on the wart. Cover with a Bandaid or plaster and repeat daily. Wart should be gone in about a week.
