Instructions

• 1

  Wash the wart and surrounding area with soap and water to cleanse the surface of the skin.

• 2

  Take a fresh banana peel and cut a strip of peel to fit your wart. The section of peel should be large enough to cover your entire wart.

• 3

  Place the banana peel on top of the wart and secure the peel with a bandaid. You may also want to place another bandaid over the wart that is perpendicular to the first bandaid. This will create a cross of bandaids that should secure the banana peel on top of the wart.

• 4

  At least once a day, change the banana peel. You want to try to keep the peel fresh for maximum wart removal.

• 5

  After about one week of this regimen, you should notice the wart becoming softer and any pain accompanying the wart should be lessened. After two weeks the wart will begin to shrink and it should be completely removed in about 6 weeks using a banana as a natural wart remover.
