Duct tape removes warts

Thomas J Lynch. J Fam Pract. 2003 Feb.

Abstract

Duct tape (or any durable, occlusive, tacky tape) appears to be at least as effective as traditional cryotherapy for removal of the common wart. It is an unusual and welcome event in health care when a common ailment is proven equally amenable to an inexpensive, tolerable, and safe alternative therapy.
