RobertWhitehead Posted November 22, 2018 Share I also used to get warts in the past and every now and then I would go to get them removed (Only if I had another reason to visit the GP - would make it a bundle deal ). But then I discovered something quite interesting - they would what the GP called "flower" the skin opens and it looks like lots of small "islands" (for the lack of a better word) of skin forming on the inside of the wart (when it starts off it's nice and smooth but over time it gets lots of smaller pockets - one could almost say it was multiplying). Once this happens I would take tweezers and pull out said pockets - roots and all (bleeding will follow) - I would then be left with a hole where the wart used to be and I would then just treat that with "Mecerochrome" (Insert right spelling here) and then allow it to close up again. Now I had to repeat this on a wart multiple times but eventually they all went away without any scars PS: You do get wart removal kits at the pharmacy: https://www.dischem.co.za/orthofit-wart-freeze - much cheaper than having the GP do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on my foot (sole) was quite memorable - every one I pulled out was accompanied with what felt like an electric shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted November 22, 2018 Share Please report back if you do attempt this. I get some sort of wart thing on my fingers from time to time and I have had a few burned/frozen with liquid nitrogen. I don't think CO2 will be cold enough but willing to be proved wrong. I have tried using dry ice but it did bugger all. So liquid nitrogen "boils" at about -175 deg C(I think, could be a few deg out). As long as you keep it below that temp it will last forever but as soon as the temp goes above -175deg C it starts to boil and evaporate. I highly doubt CO2 is that cold.

No wonder it was no fuss as he is one BADASS MOFO who ain't scared of nothing. Seems legit, please post a video of you going through this process.... (for scientific purposes of course) I was expecting this one...might finally get some youtube hits!! I think i am going to at least do a youtube vid of a CO2 bomb cooling down, you know for science and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickc Posted November 22, 2018 Share Okay - I just consulted my book I have at home titled - How to avoid paying doctors bills. I found some info on Wart Removal next to the "Do it yourself Brain Surgery" section. Holding a 10mm bolt in a pair of Vice Grips heat it up with a blow torch until glowing red then immediately apply to the wart holding for a couple of seconds. Remove, ice the area and then disinfect. Keep icing and disinfecting for the next couple of hours. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
