warts

[manutdstott]

can anyone tell me the best way to get rid of warts. as my 6yr old daughter has quite a nasty one, the doctors prescribe a cream or gel that dont work & i understand that they have a limited budget, is there anything i can buy or do that might work. thanx!!!

You need to go to the hospital (the doctor will refer you) and get them frozen off, I believe. Sounds unpleasant but I don't think it's supposed to hurt.

ravenhair is right - I had one done as a kid and again as a teenager and it doesn't hurt in the slightest.

thanx to both of you i shall look into that.

Sell it!!!!!! I know it sounds mad, but it works! It's an old wives tale I know, but when younger my brother for some reason used to occaisionally get warts, tried all the usual doctor stuff to no avail then sold one to my mother for 2p (!!) was gone within a week, about a year later got another one, sold it to mother again for 5p (inflation!) was gone within a week! And no my mother didn't get the warts herself... I know it's totally unscientific and am almost embarrassed to post it, but it worked for my bro so give it a go!

Hey Moog .. I agree that old wives tales do sometimes work. I had a wart for ages, tried everything but it wouldn't go. Then a friend told me to get someone to buy it from me .. I did and within a week the wart had gone.

what the hell are moog & wendyw talking as i cant make any sense of it, selling & buying worts. my original question was very serious indeed.

[Moog]

My answer was also serious, there is an old wives tale that says if you sell your wart to someone and don't spend the money then it will disappear, I know a number of people this has worked for, mainly young children so I thought it might be of interest to you.

Moog is mostly right. But you need to have faith as xtians say. Something else that agrees with Einstein and I've seen it work in 6 weeks on a friend who had dozens of warts on their hands. It is BAZUKA wart gel.

This is Arts & Literature, not Warts & Literature. ;-)

Moog is right, i too have sold a wart (about 16 yrs ago and never had another ) i rubbed it with a 2p coin and gave the coin to a friend, the wart disappeared soon after, sounds crazy but it's true, try it out.
