Home Remedy for Warts & Vitamin A

Warts are a very common occurrence and are present because of the Human Papilloma Virus in the body. These small, rough, patches of skin usually show up on hands, feet and sometimes on the genitals. It is possible for warts to they go away on their own with the help of a strong immune system fighting the virus, while other times people seek solutions to rid themselves of these dry, sometimes itchy, growths. Vitamin A is known for its strengthening properties to the immune system, which will help combat the virus that causes warts.

  1. Wart Removal

    • A wart sufferer would want to soak the wart in hot water to soften the skin before rubbing it with a pumice stone to get rid of the rough, dead skin on top of it. Break Vitamin A capsules open, squeeze liquid out directly onto wart, and rub in thoroughly. Reapply once daily until wart is gone. The skin that replaces the wart may be pink and sensitive at first but will fade with time.

    Vitamin A

    • Vitamin A is known for its strengthening properties to the immune system, which will help combat the virus that causes warts. 25,000 I.U. is the recommended dosage for this external use. Natural Vitamin A from fish oil or fish liver oils are preferred.

    Tips

    • Eat a healthy, balanced diet and avoid stress to strengthen your immune system so it can fight the infection that causes warts and help to heal the wart that is present. Foods and supplements containing Vitamin A, C, and E will really help with this. Don't take too much Vitamin A orally, which can be toxic.
