WHAT ARE WARTS AND VERRUCAS:
Warts and verrucas are small lumps on the skin that most people have at some point in their life. They usually go away on their own but may take months or even years.
Warts do not cause you any harm but some people find them itchy, painful or embarrassing. Verrucas are more likely to be painful - like standing on a needle. Warts and verrucas are caused by various strains of the human papilloma virus (there are over 100 strains, and there’s pretty much no avoiding getting at least one of them through such things as shared changing rooms).
If you're unsure what warts and verrucas look like there are some really helpful images and description on the following NHS link: www.nhs.uk/conditions/warts-a...
WARTS AND VERRUCA TREATMENT:
Well, the plain truth is that two thirds of the time they will just disappear within 2 years, as your body eventually recognises and deals with the infection. But if you don’t fancy waiting that long (or you’re one of the unlucky remaining one third), you’re faced with some options.
There are plenty of ‘wart clinics’ ready to freeze your wart or verruca with liquid nitrogen - but this can damage the surrounding skin and the evidence for its effectiveness turns out to be surprisingly slim.
Please note: None of the treatments in this video should be used for warts on the face or genitals please seek medical attention for these.
You can also buy creams, plasters and sprays from pharmacies to get rid of warts and verrucas. These treatments can take up to 3 months to complete, may irritate your skin and do not always work. You should not use these treatments on your face or genital area.
The last option which is my favourite is the duct tape technique explained in the video which has been shown to be rather effective. And duct tape is relatively cheap and easy to use at home, so you might want to give it a go.
WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION:
• You're worried about a growth on your skin
• You have a wart or verruca that keeps coming back
• You have a very large or painful wart or verruca
• A wart bleeds or changes in how it looks
• You have a wart on your face or genitals
For more information on genital warts: www.nhs.uk/conditions/genital...
HOW TO STOP WARTS AND VERRUCAS SPREADING:
Warts and verrucas are caused by a virus. They can be spread to other people from contaminated surfaces or through close skin contact. You're more likely to spread a wart or verruca if your skin is wet or damaged.
Do,
• Wash your hands after touching a wart or verruca
• Change your socks daily if you have a verruca
• Cover warts and verrucas with a plaster when swimming
• Take care not to cut a wart when shaving
Don't,
• Do not share towels, flannels, socks or shoes if you have a wart or verruca
• Do not bite your nails or suck fingers with warts on
• Do not walk barefoot in public places if you have a verruca
• Do not scratch or pick a wart

Cheers, Abraham, love your humour and great tip - my 8 year old daughter has 2 verrucas and we’ve tried all shop remedies, without success and she’s fed up and upset - however you’ve managed to make verrucas a topic of laughter - success 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Now to get some duct tape 😂
*Update - it worked! I got some duct tape and some surgical tape to stop it slipping off and we had it on for about 5 days and it went a bit black and now there’s pretty much nothing there. I spent so much on treatment that just didn’t work and was painful and this is brilliant - thank you ☺️
Yay early squad. I once helped a patient get rid of their warts using some good otc products and the joy on the patients face after treatment is what makes me love the job of a pharmacist. We impact people's lives on a daily basis.
Thanks for commenting Joseph, early squad today :) This ones for you my good sir for being first 🏆
@@AbrahamThePharmacist thank you sir. Was eagerly waiting to make it to the early squad today.
I like this guy. He's so funny. Friendly personality. He earned a subscribe.

My daughters pediatrician recommended this and it worked perfectly. He said this is the best way to do it and not freeze it.

Was looking for a remedy for my daughter, thanks for posting.
How long did it take to heal?
BF how is your child doing? Have they returned? I pray not. I am inquiring because my son been having warts for the last 3 years we go to the dermatologist for the freezing treatment and in a few weeks the warts are back. My precious son does not want the freezing treatment no more and send me this video. I pray our beautiful children are healing amen.
I ‘killed’ a wart I had a couple times, but it kept coming back and getting bigger. More warts started coming along as well, but I didn’t have the persistence to keep trying to get rid of them. After about a year and a half though, they all disappeared on their own. The immune system is a wonderful thing.
Yeah, i had like 23 warts on my foot and after 3 years, 3 YEARS they disapperead
@@fhenjatry 15 years and no sign of going away
Back with the great videos!!
Thanks for commenting Rahmah - Sending awesome vibes :)
@@AbrahamThePharmacist Can we use bandade
Thankyou for this information !👊🏾
No problem!!
Quite informative, excellent job.
Thanks for commenting Mahnoor - Glad you enjoyed it, sending awesome vibes :)
@@AbrahamThePharmacist Thanks
I have to say thank you Abraham...I did this for 2 and a half weeks and my verrucas are gone..I was sceptical to start with but the difference was noticeable fairly quickly...thanks again..
Glad my tips helped!
@JJ JelyBean 100% legitimately worked for me
Did it come back after 2 years? :D
Great tips and wouldn't be recommended for eyelid warts, as you said. Thanks
Thanks for commenting Martin - Sending awesome vibes my good sir :)
When I had a wart on my foot I put salt on the wart, put tape on it for the 6 days and then pulled it out, didn't hurt at all and healed really fast
How much salt did you put?
@@LapetiteMe 1 teaspoon
Thank you for this info, I’ve got one on the ball of my foot and it’s been there for over 2 years and bazuka extra strength isn’t shifting it. My sister had a verruca and it was there for 8 years!
Hey tomos pls tell me, I had to take salt and stick the tape after it will not hurt me?
Mine sucks I have it under my finger nails
*_Mine got removed by duct tape after 3 days. I was surprised when I was about to replace the tape, I saw the wart was under the tape._* 😅
Glad to hear
What do you do when you have to take a shower
@@victorvillaman1816 *_I just replace the tape with a new one after I shower._*
Wow I really hope it works
I have not tried it yet
I had one for 5 years... :( I'm sick of it it makes me very self conscious when I see it
Please make a video on (differences between sunscreen and sunblock), I love your videos 👍🏻
Thanks for the topic just added it to the list. I will do my best to answer this question an a future episode of 'Responding to your comments' .
@@AbrahamThePharmacist i also need this .
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I can't wait to try this. I've had a verucca on my foot for about 15 years. It never hurts but I'm fed up of it. Another little one just popped up too. I went to a podiatrist about 10 years ago to get it looked at and they told me "if its not hurting, don't bother getting it removed. Too much hassle and they often come back" I've got the duct tape on both of them now. Hope my excessively sweaty feet don't scupper the sticking properties of the duct tape! I shall post back if it works. Onwards and upwards to wart free heaven!
bruh i also have very sweaty feet and tape doesnt stick on very well
Super glue or nail polish have the exact same effect. Get some gorilla glue if you're worried about moisture or traction.
Hey Lindsey, does it seem to be working? :)
@@EowynG191 Hi, nope. Feet way to sweaty so I switched to Scoll Verucca and Wart Removal Pen. On round 3 of treatment (that's 3 weeks in. This verucca is stubborn!!) So far it's turned into a hard scab. Hopefully it will fall off in a few weeks. Sick of the thing!!
@@lindseythompson7352 thanks for the update!! Hope this will work!!! Go away, Verucca!!!!!
I had warts 2 years ago and I don't know how they disappeared but now, after 2 years they come back thanks for this video
Glad I could help
I had a wart on my finger when I was 11 years old. My grandma told me to take a penny ( clean it in a bowl of apple cider vinegar 1st) rinse it off and place the penny on the wart with a band-aid for 2 days. I could feel it working and of course the area was a little green from the copper...but the wart was gone and the green disappeared after a few days.
May i ask, how about when i need to take a bath, do i just leave the tape on the area? Thank you.
Thanks for the vlog. Tried treatment for warts for weeks but didn't work .tried your gaffer tape tip and the wart as gone in 5 days. Also found on CZcams to use banna skin taped over did this for about 5 hrs . Thanks again worked for me.
Glad I could help :)
What is banna skin?
Going to try this now
Hope my tips help!
I used to tape crushed garlic on the bottom of my feet where I had the plantar wart and go to sleep every night with my socks on....... I had the wart for almost a year then I found out what it was and treated it like this and 2 weeks later my skin peeled off and the wart is out!!!
Your explanation is very funny but I really understand what did you saying nice one I hope it will be work in my warts
All the best
Did it work?
Thank you for the advice. Any chance u wud know anything about reducing the appearce of nasolabial folds/laugh lines. I'm only 15 and I've got them, it makes me rly self-conscious and worried.
I’ve had verrucas on both of my feet for as long as I can remember, and I was wondering if normal tape would work too, or is it just duct tape? I’ve dealt with the verrucas on my feet for so long, I just want them gone.
Thanks for this tip.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I'm going to try it out hopefully it works

Did it work?
Hi Abraham, I have a large verruca on the heal of my foot that's been there for years now. I've tried tape briefly in the past, but just falls off due to feet sweating. I've tried frozen from a clinic, but after 4 sessions, it was still there & costing me £50 every visit, so gave up.
Thanks for this. 2 years ago I had 7 warts (of various sizes) appear on my fingers...I tried chemist & prescription acids = nothing worked. I then put duct tape over them & they died in 3 days (I just had to scrape off the dead warts -now I’m clear). Thank you.
Nice one Phil thanks for sharing
Ima try it i hope it works because i been cutting it down for the longest and it keeps coming beck
@@bizzaromicky71 Yes.....put a little duct tape over it & leave it there for a few (4/5) days to cut out light and air (if it comes loose put a fresh bit on). When it turns white/wrinkly, scrape it out & put fresh piece of tape over it.
Does it hurt ??
@@bhawana8427 When it turned white I couldn’t actually feel anything when cutting away, but do be careful not to cut into ‘unaffected’ flesh.
@AbrahamThePharmacist will this work for any sort of tape? Just your usual clear tape? Or does it have to be duct tape?
Does it have to be tape or can you also use plasters if the tape comes off? I have one on my finger and depending on how busy my day is it comes off then applying a plaster
@AbrahamthePharmacist I've had a callous on the ball of under my big toe that I can usually manage as just hardened skin, but today there's a black dot so I'm thinking varruka. I want to try the duct tape but is the black dot blood vessel or is it something I should be trying to 'squeeze out." Also, when you say a va=erruka is contagious, I've been touching this thing forever...will it transfer elsewhere on my body like poison ivy?
Does this work on plantar warts that are deep under the skin?
Thank you for the tips I've been suffering because of the pain oin my feet cause by warts
Glad my tips helped!
I'm also suffering from a veruca
I’ve had mine for 5 years.. 😬
I’ve tried everything under the sun, let’s hope this works!
Thanks for commenting, hope my tips help.
Jeez 1 year for meh
person I haven’t gotten round to it yet as I’m on a medication from my doctor x
Imogen Trainor any updates?
Did it work for you?
OH MY GOD THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 😭💞💞💞
Glad my tips helped!
I have had 35 verrucas on one foot for 5 years now and I’m a gymnast so it’s very embarrassing
Man hate this warts are such a turnoff lmao
@@_elitetrooper_1965 ikk if rough lol
its*
That's bad..
@@gabby_2737 noooooooooooooooooo don't spread the warts nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Ive literally had a massive one on the ball of my foot under my big toe for 10 years!! I developed a limp from it!
Thanks for the advice i will try it
I hope my tips help!
Hi , can we apply the technique on foot ???
Hi Abraham, this is useful for people. Great information as usual . I want to ask about broken bones, please!!!! My sister has been to hospital and has broken her shoulder in three places plus her upper arm has broke too!!!! I know it will take time and she might have to have a operation. Is there anything that would help . I know it will take time. Is there a lotion or anything to help. Thank you so very much, Abraham.
Thanks for commenting Patricia, sorry to hear about your sister, hope she gets well soon. Will do my best to do a responding to comments episode on this topic :)
AbrahamThePharmacist Thank you Abraham, I appreciate. I know they quoted seventeen weeks to heal and she will get better. So daunting. Wishing you the best. Thank you so very much Abraham.
Is it useful for flat warts also?
Great video! I have 1 small wart that's been on my leg for years...time to say goodbye. I'm counting on this to work!
Fun fact, here in the US we call warts on the bottom of feet plantar warts. [Veruca was the spoiled brat girl in Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory...] Anyway, Thanks for posting!
Hope my tips help and thanks for sharing
Veruca Salt in the Willie Wonka book was named after the plantar wart , by Ronald Dahl. Both are very unpleasant.
I want a goose that lays golden eggs for Easter!
Did it work?
@@Seanc74 I don't know because of 2 things: I found out I'm allergic to duct tape! I got terrible itching from the tape so I couldn't continue. Also, I don't think the growth on my leg is actually a wart; it's some other benign thing that I forgot the name of. I wish I had a definitive answer for you!
I try this and I was surprised it worked. Thanks alot. 😊
You're welcome!
Thankyou will follow the 6 day rule. I've tried everything else for over a year.
Thanks Michelle, hope it helps and let us know how you get on!
@@AbrahamThePharmacist I've actually got a call coming from the doctor on Monday. We're in lock down again. Hopefully I will be accepted into the cryotherapy clinic to get them frozen off. Yippee!
😟 Thanks doctor, ive had a verucca on the bottom of my foot for ages now. i will 100% try this as the last few times i used the pharmacy beamds containing salytic acid, i hurt like hell as it was coming off. Pray to God this works.
It worked for my daughter. Get some surgical tape too to tape the edges of the duct tape down. We had hers on for about 5 days and it went a bit black and now there’s barely anything there. The process was itchy but no discomfort. Good luck 🙂
I’ve had two warts on my feet and one on my toe and I was so embarrassed by them and fed up saw this video and told my dad to get duck tape I’ll update this after it’s been about 3 weeks I’m praying this works thank u! UPDATE: there actually started to go it does take effort but worth it I’ll be back when 3 weeks is up! UPDATE: it helped a lot it’s still there but if you keep repeating the steps it will go! UPDATE: sorry everyone totally forgot to update you guys only one of them went but one came on my thumb but if you got to Amazon there is these wart plasters and you only do It for maybe a week or a bit longer and it helps them so much!!!!!
So? How did it go?
Did you get rid of it? I’ve had a verruca on the ball of my foot for over 2 years now.
I guess he forgot to come update us. Lol
Update?
Thanks for updates, I'll give it a shot
Hi Abraham any tips for sesamoiditis.
Hi, thanks for the tip. I manage to find a kind of duct tape, called foil tape, made of aluminium. The description says "Duct sealing and general repairs". Do you think it will work the same as traditional duct tape?
@@hugoclarke2349 thx m8.
Thanks for commenting Nico G and Hugo for the excellent advice. Sending you both awesome vibes :)
No and it’s really expensive
Thank you .. i got my wart removed successfuly .. clean for year now.
Excellent!
thanks for the video
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I have done this it works
Apple cider vinegar and saran wrap is a life saver!!!!!!!!
Would this work with planters worts
What about flat warts on the face?
I tried this mehod did not wor. Goinf to try again like he said to do. Thkks Abraham for a lovelybinformatve video. will update after I have tried it and how it worked on me. thx
Best of luck!
Does it have to be duct tape? Can I use like painters tape or something?
I'm suffering from severe cold for past 1yr and I meet lot of doctors even though I can get rid of this till now... could you help me?
Thoughts on some cotton with ACV underneath the tape?
@AbrahamThephatics Can I use the normal tape?
What do you mean when you said stick some plaster over it to keep it on? What’s plaster?
Hi can i use this treatment on face reply please.
Amazing tip!
Thank you so much. I appreciate your video, and also the budget and logistics involved.
God bless you and your viewers.
💙🌜🌍⚕️🌎🌛💙
Thanks Julie glad you enjoyed it
Can I remove the duct tape when I take a bath and put it back after? It got peel when I'm showering
Thanks for the answer
I’ve got three warts and, since my asd makes me very sensitive, I can REALLY feel it. I’ve always felt this horrible, skin-crawling feeling of having something buried so deep into my foot, it’s disgusting. I’m counting on this technique
Any results?
Same I have autism as well and have been driven to the edge, if duct tape doesn't work I don't know what I'll do.
RIGHT?? I’ve had mine for years and every day i genuinely feel like getting a knife and just scraping it out myself
Do they pain when pressure is applied on it
How do you know a when it has gone or when to stop treatment?
Hello.. can I use the duct tape treatment for Plantar wart? about 1.5cm small..
Leave it on for 7 days, Can you remove it to have a shower or do you have to leave it on & stay dirty for the whole week?
I have a wart right now, and it’s very stubborn, we’ve frozen it twice and I finally ripped it off once it was dead and frozen
Does it matter what tape you use? Will using a different tape other than duct tape affect the wart or mess with the results?
Use regular duct tape only. It's cheap anyway, worth the couple of bucks.
Thank you

Glad you enjoyed the video!
Bro can u say me personally how u done @theart hope ur from India too so can i have a language prblm brother can u share ur insta id plzz
I know you say the most important part is soaking and filing but I'm thinking duck tape is the most important part. For this reason! I want to know what the duck tape is doing. Smothering? Blood has oxygen so I'm confused!!!! Help me. Love YOU
I'm gonna try this I have one on my shin that doesn't even look like a wart. Dermal papilloma is what the pathologist called it. Don't know why the derm just didn't take it off during biopsy. Never offered even after getting results back from pathology.
I had 3 warts on my Chest i used an earbud dipped in Acid and tthe next day it was gone didnt hurt and there are no scars whatsoever🙌
I've got a little bald patch on my head where this is... Will the hair regrow?
I had a wart on my finger.... I used witch hazel and dead sea salt.... Soaked it in a cotton round.... And then duct taped it around my finger ... I changed it once a day for 3 days and on the fourth day it was gone
What do you guys do when your taking a shower.
I have one on my middle finger on the palm side.
It works 🙂
Glad my tips helped!
Can I ask?
when you having an hyper acidity or ulcer does it cause pain on other parts of the abdomen?
Ummm. Youre on a video about warts... do you go to a psychiatrist and order groceries also? Or go to a gym to rest..?
What about these skin tag removal pens that burn them off
Please recommend conditioner for men with normal,dry and damaged hair plz.
Just stop washing your hair for many months at a time. Natural human oil will do the rest of the trick.
Thank you!
Thanks for commenting, sending awesome vibes :)
Hello, what if the wart is near/under the toe's nail?
Does it also work foe big and rounded wart, I have one on my back
so if you don’t have any money for the duct tape are you aloud to use a plaster to do it or no?
Hi I have a wart on the nail of my small toe and under it I have tried multiple treatment on both how do I deal with the nail cuz I don’t think I can file the top on my nail
You say to scrape it after soaking yet in the information below it says not to do that because it will spread.... which is it?
Does this actually work bc I’ve had warts for 6 years now and all the treatments I’ve had haven’t worked?
Hope this works, this warts lessen my confidence everytime.
I hope my tips help!
Is it working? I’ve had mine for 5/6 years which is getting ridiculous this is my last resort ahah
@@iilbeahoo9407 yes it works I don’t cut little pieces I just cover it around my finger two or three times
i had a wart on my finger for 20 years. It came off, I was so happy. And then...back in the same place!!! So tired of that wart. I'm trying this.
Maybe try a subliminal
Will this work with skin tags? :)
I have a wart so ty for the advis
Love the humour😂
Sending awesome vibes
What is considered a plaster to keep the duct tape on? Especially if your washing your hands all day at work.
What if i have plantar warts under my foot and it's flat and not painful?
Hi I just wanna as… after 7days wash warm water then what u gonna put? Or it’s ok even u don’t put anything just keep putting duck tape? Thanks
Hi my wart in on the top of my head not a problem when I'm at home to use the duck tape but will have to remove it when I go out will this affect the procedure
