  Staff        May 30, 2013

Warts or verrucae are a commonly occurring skin problem. They most commonly occur on the hands and on the feet and can be painful on the feet as you walk on them. There are many different treatments for them, with various success rates for them. The problem with research on warts is that they tend to get better eventually on their own, so it can not be very clear if the treatment worked or was the treatment applied just as the wart was about to get better. This also mean that there are many myths of treatments. One of these is the use of duct tape to treat warts. The evidence is clear that it does not work, yet many use it and advocate it.
