How to treat a persistent wart?
I have had this gosh darn wart on my knuckle for almost 2.5 years now. I have bought who knows how many wart freeze kits, wart remover pads and liquid wart removers. I have also been to the clinic once to have them freeze it, but it didn't do any better than the one from the store. I am so sick and tired of this wart! It is about as round as my 13 months old's thumb nail and hasn't gotten any smaller. Each treatment I do works to get it less thick, but that's it.
ANY IDEAS, PLEASE?

Duct tape. Completely cover the wart with duct tape and leave it on for 7 days, if it loosens re-enforce it, don't remove it. After 7 days remove the tape, scrub the wart and put on another piece of tape for another 7 days. Usually takes about 3 wks for the wart to go away. They did a study comparing the effectiveness of duct tape therapy with freezing and the duct tape was much more effective. Good luck
