What is the best wart remover?

Neat tea tree oil applied daily with a cotton bud (it can be an irritant on normal skin), cover with a small plaster. Warts and veruccas can disappear in days.

Thuja 30 worked for me- it costs about a fiver for a tube of pills from Boots.

*zippy*

I'm just testing out thuja cream on a large wart, looking up information on it I found this.

*****Five Star Tip: Have you heard of the bizarre banana remedy? The healing mucilage found inside banana peel has been shown to help verrucas and other warts disappear. To try this, tape the inside peel of a blackened over-ripe banana over the verruca or wart, cover this with an elastoplast and leave on overnight. Do this for three nights and on the fourth, add a few drops of Tea Tree oil before the banana and tape. Maintain this treatment for 2-3 weeks and watch the wart blacken as it dies off.

My 5yo son has a really big wart on the inside of his thumb. We've tried bazuka - he won't pull the layer off and have eventually tried freezing it again (didn't do anything first time) It's now started looking like it's dying off but in the last day or so it has changed from a hard, rough lump to what I can only describe as an anemone - it's opened up into lots of "fronds" but only the top looks dead. He now says it hurts so I have to put a plaster on it for school.

I will go to the Drs to see if they can remove it but has anyone else experienced this? I've never seen anything like it - I have various oils - tea tree, lavender etc but don't want to apply these as it looks like raw flesh.

Any ideas or similar tales??
