I used to have a really big wart on my big toe, and was creeping down onto my foot. Nothing I could do would get rid of it. I'd have regular cryotherapy, tried the duct tape, lots of other stuff (including me attacking it with a knife once -- was not a good idea). One day I had a very traumatic bicycle accident that involved my ankle getting sprained and the skin being cut down to the bone in multiple places (not near the wart).
Whole foot and ankle was wrapped up in bandages for a couple months, when the bandages came off my wart was gone and never came back.
Would not recommend, but it seemed to work (or it was a coincidence)
- plasticsoprano 2y agoI had a similar event with a wart on my palm. Tried everything but it wouldn’t go away until one day I had a bicycle crash that ripped it out. Much blood, never returned.
- tempest_ 2y agoI would assume the bandage wrapping would produce a similar environment to the duct tape cure, just a bit more enforced and extreme.
- eigenspace 2y agoMaybe, but I kinda doubt it. The bandages weren't water-tight around my toes. I suspect the relevant thing was that there was increased immune activity in my foot due to the wounds (or it was just a coincidence)
