Unfortunately, as explained on the Hearty Soul, a lot of people take their skin’s health for granted. However, when something that should not be there appears, for example, a wart, we notice it immediately. So, you would like to know if there is a way to get rid of it naturally, safely and effectively.
Although our skin protects us, it is not impenetrable and when we experience cuts or wounds, regardless of whether they are big or small, they can impact the three skin layers negatively. So, it is good that we are able to spot skin changes easily due to the fact that they grow on the visible skin layer.
Conventional Methods for Removal
Before we head on to learn natural ways to remove skin warts, blackheads, skin tags, etc. we should mention that there are conventional therapies that your dermatologist may offer. Some of them are cryotherapy (usage of extreme cold to freeze the growth prior to removal), laser surgery, and topicals.
Natural Remedies for Removal

- Garlic-crush one clove of garlic and apply it onto the wart and attach a bandage. Leave it for half an hour and then remove the bandage and rinse the area gently. Repeat the procedure twice per day for optimal effect.
- Vitamin C-crush several vitamin C tablets and mix them with half a tsp of water to get a paste. Rub it onto the wart and place a bandage. Any burning sensation will go away shortly. Repeat on the daily.
