    How do I get rid of a wart on my face that grows outward like a finger ?

    I went to the same derm 3 X !!  and all he did was freeze it off. It kept growing  back . Now, he says I have to go to a local major hosp to get it cut off. No thanks !!  He's not wasting anymore of my money !

    * 1
    Fresh potato

    Wash a fresh, raw potato. A fresh potato from a farmer's market or your garden would be ideal. However, a potato fresh from the local supermarket will do if necessary. The potassium and other nutrients in the potato absorbs into the skin and works against the HPV.
    * 2
    Slices of potato

    Slice the potato into thin, small pieces, but large enough to cover the wart.
    * 3

    Place some petroleum jelly on the skin surrounding the wart, but not on the wart itself. This will protect the healthy skin from possible irritation from the treatment.
    * 4

    Gently rub the surface of the wart with a nail file that is disposable. This will help the surface area of the wart accept the treatment with less resistance.
    * 5

    Apply the potato piece to the wart, and secure in place with an adhesive bandage. Leave on overnight. Repeat this treatment for 7 to 10 days or until the wart falls off.

    No, It's the same answer Roger gave, I just moved it all down to comments since copy/paste in the new answer box comes out messy and non readable. It's his answer, not mine.

    To Colleen. Thanks. Sounds good. I'll try it.

    :-)

    When, I was younger, I had warts (Hands, Arms) tried different things to no prevail, then this older gentleman told me "Take a straw out of a broom, poke warts till they bled on straw, place straw on ground where water runs off of home, when straw rottens warts will be gone", skeptical, I tried it, to this day their still gone.  Made me a believer.

    The longer you have it on the faster it will go away but when I did it I could only leave it on at night and it still worked. At times it would start to hurt deep inside the wart, but I took this as a good sign. now there is no sign of a wart ever being there. Be consistent with it and it will work! Good luck,. =)

    if you have the patience and can handle the smell, apple cider vinegar works really well. put a little on a tiny bit of cotton ball and put a bandaide over it. renew daily until gone coule take couple weeks depending on how big. it will turn dark in color as it dies and eventually the "heart" of the wart will fall off

    I'm so glad the roots of the wart will die. Do I have to have the little cotton ball and tape on my face all day, everyday....or can I just do the treatman at night ?
