Duct Tape Method On Genital Warts? Help!
Posted: 04-07-06 13:21pm

Has anyone else ever heard of or tried the duct tape method? I've read about it online; you're supposed to keep the wart covered by duct tape for 6 days and then soak it and file it, then repeat until the wart is gone (up to 2 months only). I have heard that it is quite successful, but what about on genital warts? Does it work? Has anyone tried it in that area? It seems like a tricky area for the tape to stay stuck. Thanks!

Duct tape and genital warts, hmmm. That doesn't sound like a very good combination. If I were you, I would go to a gynecologist to get it checked out. Surgically removing them sounds like a much more reliable method. I know that it will probably be embarassing for you but I think it would be the best option.

I have visited a gynecologist. I am just exploring any possible at-home remedies.
