I am using the inside of the banana skin only. It seems to be working (day 3)...

I had a very deep plantar's wart about 1/2 inch in diameter which had been growing on the bottom of my foot for at least 8 years. I treated this wart with banana peel secured with a bandaid and refreshed with new peel at least 3 times a day (this I did after removing the callous with curved blade Revlon cuticle scissors). I also used an emery board to lightly file the dead tissue away as the wart was brought to the surface by the potassium in the banana peel. It has taken 6 weeks to free myself of this lump in my foot - and I am elated! My sister had surgery on a plantar's wart and it left scar tissue which she said was more annoying that the wart itself. Natural cures are always better. During the time that the wart tissue was dying the body had time to build new repair tissue in its place without scaring. Be patient and diligent in your endeavor, as stubborn or deep warts take time. It does not take a big piece of peel - just cut off a slice of banana and then cut a piece the size you need. The best bandaid for constant use, which has total comfort (no latex) (and you cannot even feel the bandaid) is Nexcare Comfort (there are different Nexcare bandaids - choose the one that says Comfort). They leave absolutely no residue on your skin, they are also flexible, and stay secure, and breath with your skin.

My doctor actually told me about this! He said to use a scalpel to trim the dead skin, then use the inside of an unripe banana peel on the wart for 15 minutes a day. It worked!

Banana peel worked for the warts I had since I was about 13 (I'm now 45). I had approximately 50 warts, mostly on my arms and some on my legs. They covered such a large area that I actually taped whole banana peels to my arms every night. It felt weird but within three months my warts were completely gone.

Every night for 6 nights I taped a small piece of banana peel on a planter wart on my toe. After a while the wart turned completely black. It was black even down deep. I guess the banana peel killed the wart and it finally came out.

My 13 year old daughter had a large planters wart on the bottom of her foot. We saw our MD who cut the skin around it and told us to give our over the counter wart medication 6 more weeks. If the wart did not go away on its own, we were to schedule an out-patient surgery to get it removed. I found this website and decided to give the banana peel a try (after completing 7 more weeks on med. with no results). After 3 days of application of the banana peel to her foot, the wart is gone. I'm so happy!!!! Thank you for sharing this incredible information for free. I just had to write and tell you of our success.
