Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus transmitted through touching. They appear as small rough, and hard growth and can occur anywhere in the skin. Using public showers, weak immunity, and working in the meat industry increases the risk of contracting warts. The virus finds its way through damaged skin or sexual contact for genital warts slightly, and it can take about six months for the first bumps to start showing.
Duct tape denies the skin cells the much-needed oxygen, making the cells in the wart die and wear out. In addition, frequent applying and removing the tape removes skin cells, slowly eroding the wart. This process removes the wart layer by layer, causing the wart to weather off slowly without causing damage to the skin.
Wash the wart thoroughly and leave it to dry. Cut a sizeable piece of duct tape and stick it on the wart. Remove the tape after seven days and clean the wart with sandpaper or pumice stone to erode the dead skin. Next, clean the wart area and leave it for 12 hours before reapplying another duct tape.
