I think some people are just more susceptible to the virus that causes warts. Both of my kids swim, and they share a bathroom. Only one of them has an issue with warts. The other kid doesn't get them at all.

Pretty much everyone gets some form of an HPV virus at some point in their lives. You can pick them up pretty much anywhere, some strains can live on surfaces for a week.

Repeat each time the tape comes off. It will take a few months, but it should eventually work. This was the guidance I received each time after seeing a dermatologist and having the wart frozen with liquid nitrogen, which may hasten getting rid of the wart but is not actually necessary to get rid of it.

Curing warts requires patience. There's no quick fix.

Totally not true. Get the cathardin painted on. It’s beetle juice or something and it’s painless. The doctor paints it on and then it creates a blister that pushes the wart out in 2 weeks. Worked for me and then has worked for both of my kids too.

Cut one sticky side of a bandaid so there is a small circle in the middle by folding just that side and cutting a half circle at the fold line.

Place that on the skin so the healthy skin is protected and the wart alone pops through the hole

Rub this on the wart peeking through-

Cover what you rubbed on with the other sticky side of the bandaid - discard the cotton section.

- repeat every single day even for about a month after the wart falls off.

Works 100% of the time, zero pain. Will take about 10 weeks maybe.

Thank you for this advice! We've been doing this for about 3 weeks so far and the warts are definitely getting smaller.

Thanks for the heads up, will avoid public swimming pools now. Already considered them like swimming in sewage, but this draws the line, don't need virus warts on top of the ick.

This is a forum related to swimming and diving. I imagine you're the only poster who is able to just avoid pools. Maybe this forum should also be avoided by you b/c it is dedicated to people who are frequently at pools.

PP only said public pools. I pictured PP as a wealthy woman typing this from her mansion overlooking her private pool while the pool boy cleans it.

Literally no one posts on this board about things like private swimming pools, the Water Mine, oceans, etc. The posts are all about swim teams (costs, gossip about, what costs include, volunteering requirements, NVSL, etc.), technique, meets, coaches, etc. Why would anyone who finds public swimming like swimming in sewage be here? It's like being on an NYC board and saying you think being in NYC is like walking in poo.

I find public swimming to be like sewage. But my child is obsessed with swim team so here we are. My child also got warts on their feet from it.

Ick, I never would have known about the wart thing if it wasn't for this board.
Thank goodness I learned before that happened. Viruses are with you forever and change your DNA over time. Gross.
