Had plantar warts for 5 years I know how you guys feel. I first had them burned off with electricity. Came back burn it off again. Got bigger. Then went to another Dr and frozen it off turned all my skin black! After 3 weeks thought it was gone skin look all pink and smooth then 2 weeks later came back. Went to another Dr and froze it and used 80% acid then went back and froze it again then used acid. One day at work I google around to see other kinds of treatment and then found this site. I was sceptical but after all the reviews I decided to give it a tried. First night I taped a (ripe) yellow banana skin with duct tape and slept and kept it on all day and went to work. At night took it off my skin was black. I thought it was from the banana because it had turned black too. Did the same thing for 2 more nights. I decided to let it rest for 2 days. After the second day of resting the dead black skin started to fall off and I could see red pink skin underneath. After one more day I put another banana skin and taped it. At night the banana turned black but not my skin after the dead skin fell off. Right then I knew it wasn't the banana skin that made my skin turned black. It was the wart dying. Boy was I happy. I wish I knew about this treatment earlier and not spending all the time and money on the Dr not to mention the pain, time off from work, stress, and scared of going anywhere bare foot like swimming with friends. I want to thank God for letting me find this site.

Years ago, I had a very large wart on my thumb, by the nail. I actually thought it was a nasty cuticle, very rough and cabbage like. It was painful too. One day, I examined it under a magnifier and noticed black dots and realized it was a wart. I had read in a Dear Abby column that a good wart cure was to rub the inside of a banana peel on it. I bought a bunch of them and always had an empty peel on the kitchen counter. I rubbed the wet, inside part on the wart every time I passed the kitchen. I did that for a few days. Really very interesting that it wasn't a gradual thing, more like I looked at it one day and it was gone. It probably took 3 or 4 days. It really works.

Banana Skin Peel to cure Warts.
WOW, this worked for us and we proved the sceptics wrong (there were quite a few!) My son had two large painful warts on the bottom of his foot. I rubbed some banana skin on them most nights and often taped small squares of banana on them over night. The first time we did it he said that it was stinging and they started to turn black. After about 3 months they are completely gone with no scarring and other smaller ones that appeared have gone to. We often missed days and the taped on pieces frequently fell off in bed, I assume that this is why it took 3 months. If I have the need to use this remedy again I would tape them on all of the time and replace the banana skin every couple of days for quicker results.

For six months I had a wart or gangleon on my arthritic finger just above the nail. I read about the banana treatment here and tried it. After four days the wart/gangleon has almost disappeared completely.

I just returned from the dermatologist who confirmed that my plantars warts are in fact healed. Every night after a shower I scrubbed my two toes with an emory board, rubbed banana peel into the warts, then applied the peel with athletic tape. Occasionally I would give my toes a break and would just apply tea tree oil to them after scrubbing. It worked and the warts healed from the inside. This was the only cure that worked for me even after I tried freezing them, duct tape, and apple cider vinegar. One thing to note, dispose of the used peels in a trash can with a lid. I ended up with a fruit fly infestation that took a few weeks to get rid of.

My teenage son had warts around his nails and one on his wrist. I had read about the banana peel cure - didn't believe it would work, but thought we'd try anyway. We just put a piece of banana peel over the wart on his wrist and put a bandaid over it. He slept with it on for about a week or two. After 2 weeks, it was still there, so he stopped the treatment. Then, several months later, he casually mentioned the wart was gone. I could not believe it! In addition, the warts on his fingers have also disappeared - and we did not even treat them! He had had these warts for years! This is a miracle treatment!

I have tried out the Banana Peel for wart, and it worked like a charm.
I had two warts one on my thumb, near the skin above the nail, another on my foot. Without actually knowing about them, I went to a dermatologist, who confirmed that they are warts. She burnt the wart on my foot, but, removing wart on thumb by burning might harm the nerves on my thumb, and suggested to take the salicylic acid treatment. No betterment for a month. When I searched google for wart cure, I found this remedy on first page. Though, I didnot believe at first, but, after reading so many testimonials, I tried out. 5th day, the wart is gone :)

I'm from Sydney, Australia. When I was younger my mother used banana peel on my wart that I had on my left hand. She would cut out a small square big enough to cover the entire wart and then placed a bandaid over it to keep it in place. We would change it half way through the day and before I went to bed at night. The results were FANTASTIC. I recommend it to anyone who is has a wart because it is also pain free. No one ever believes me that it works because most people think it's really funny to wear banana peel around-- but what works better than nature itself?
100% effective!

I had a wart on my left hand for at least ten years. I tried several over-the-counter remedies, but none worked. I tried the banana peel remedy and in five days the wart was gone! Amazing!

My 9 year old daughter developed two warts: one on her toe and one on her finger, both near the nail. I decided to try the banana peel remedy. The one on her finger came off in three days. The one on her toe, which had been there for several months came off in five days leaving a little sore indent where it had been. She has no pain at all. Amazing!

Had planters warts for 6 plus years. Had them cut out by family doctor, that did not work, tried every home remidy I found on this computer. Banana peels taped to them with furnace tape seems to have killed the little beggers. Banana peels for 5 days, to me is seems unreal, a miracle that my feet don't hurt seems they are just smoothing over. Have pictures if I could figure out how to get them to you.

I can't even tell you how much this works. I had warts on my fingers for 3+ years to which I saw many doctors who couldn't get rid of them. I was just shy of laser surgery when they realized they couldn't do it because my nails would never grow back. Finally, my dad told me to try the banana peel. One week later, they were all gone and I had over 10 of them. My doctors had done absolutely everything including the painful surgery and a skin cancer cream to keep them from spreading. I urge you to try it. Be vigilant in your efforts doing it every morning and night. I also had to file the wart down at each dressing, but I can't even explain to you how happy I am it worked.

My husband is a doctor who tried 3 times to freeze the wart on the bottom of my foot. But it just made it bigger and more sore. In the past year I've used salicylic acid, burning and scraping to no avail. I've been in pain most of that time. Three days ago I read about the banana treatment. My husband laughed at me and said, "maybe you should try magnets, too." But I did it anyway. I used duct tape to hold the banana skin to my foot. In 24 hours that wart was dying. In 48 hours I was pain free. My foot is finally healing. I am so grateful. Even though my husband makes a living by burning warts off people, I told him it would be malpractice if he didn't recommend this treatment to his patients. It's easy and fast.
To the few people for whom this treatment didn't work, maybe what you have is not a wart. Have your doctor check to make sure it's not a mole or a cancerous skin patch.

Banana Peels most definitely work for warts
