Then one day my aunt sent my mom and email about the powers of a banana. The trick is to use the banana peel (the inside piece not the yellow outside) and put it on the wart or warts. I only did this three times for 15 to 20 minutes and they went away so fast and it didn't even hurt. I also heard that if you put duck tape on the wart the chemicals in the tape will eat the wart away. Hope this helps :] I use to have planter warts everywhere on my feet.

There's plenty of warts in my hands and it makes me uncomfortable everytime I'm in the public places. Using a “wart off” can be effective?

My daughter had a large one and a co-worker mentioned that her mother used cut up lemons directly on the wart and it would then go away. With only this information and a supply of free lemons I figured that I had nothing to lose. Each day at bedtime I put about 1/4 of a lemon, cut side to the skin on the wart and gently wrapped my daughter's foot with an ace bandage to hold the lemon in place. Each morning we removed the bandage and lemon piece, rinsed off the foot and sent my daughter off to school with her regular socks and shoes. After about 10 days we went away for a long weekend and did not treat the wart. It looked like a callus had formed and when we returned home we cut away the callus and there was nothing but new, pink skin. An acquaintance that is a plastic surgeon said that the acid in the lemon probably just ate away the wart. He also mentioned that a good scrubbing with a brush with antibacterial soap like a surgeon does before entering surgery would remove any wart over time. My daughter & I liked the lemon approach as it was free and to her, like magic ;o) I have discovered that lemons also work well in removing a plantar wart.
