Anyone have any advice on clearing up warts? I have recently discovered that my 19-month old dd has a small wart on the middle finger of her left hand and I want to know what options I have for getting rid of it. Anyone have a technique that has been successful? Thanks in advance!

Warts are caused by a virus combined with a vitamin a deficiency. Most wart treatments that are over the counter are a combination of crazy glue and aspirin(salicylic acid) - lol

I can't remember the exact reason why, but there is a scientific basis for why this worked. I'm not sure how much help it will be though, seeing as it's winter now.
I successfully used dandelion milk on my warts when I was little to remove 5 warts. It took about a week and they didn't fall off or anything, they just seemed to "shrink".

I had a cluster on my hand for a couple years. I started taking spirulina and the warts went away within a week or two. I took the spirulina for my health, but it was a nice bonus that the warts went away. It has anti-viral properties. The warts sloughed off with no scar.

I give my children spirulina in smoothies or protein shakes. My oldest will now swallow it.

Someone I know, put a drop of lemon essential oil and it shrank away in about a week, was on the knuckles.

I had a wart that wouldn't go away with otc treatments and even having it frozen at the doctor's office. Once I started adding coconut oil to my diet it went away on its own. Coconut oil is antiviral as well. HTH
