Some warts are caused by viruses, yes, and this stuff works on some viruses, designed to stop herpes simplex 1 virus (aka cold sores), it also can kill viral warts. It killed mine almost immediately. Very impressive results. The warts have not returned. Nothing else I tried ever worked on them.
It's sold in drug stores on the shelf, but 2 grams is almost $24. Does a really great job on cold sores too. You just put a thin film on, so even the 2 grams lasts a while. Get the tube and not the pump - the pump is stupid.
Abreva is the brand name, from GlaxoSmithKline.
Wallmart sells it for $17.63 apparently. I'm buying it in the wrong store:)
Cool. I'm going to buy it online. CASTOR Oil, when I was a kid, placed castor oil on wart on my knee and my arm, every morning and every night. And that got rid of them. Damn compound W just seems to burn everything, and leaves a huge white crust. The wart still lives underneath compound W. Anyhow, thanks for info, Ima buy it and try it.
Granddad worked in machine shop, had wart on his ankle/feet. He explained wart is a virus, castor oil is oil, starves the wart/ VIRUS of air it needs to survive.
