I understand the best thing is to constantly rub them with the inside
of a pea pod. Certainly something in that.

It sometimes works. Glacial acetic acid always works.

These are all innumerable folk customs to "charm" away warts.
Non of them work, but warts go away naturally after some time, except
varucas.

I just had what the Doc termed a soft wart removed.
The practise runs a monthly Cryo clinic .... so booked in, and it took
of a minute ... he just sprayed on some liquid Nitrogen ... wart died
and fell off a few days, free, simple & painless.

As it's a DIY group, I'll give my DIY method for effectively removing
warts....

Go to Maplins (etc) buy a can of Freezer Spray (for cooling suspect IC's
to find the faulty one) then, very carefully, press the top of the
aerosol to allow the liquid "stuff" to run down the delivery tube and
drop-by-drop allow the liquid to land on the wart and boil away.

Keep applying untill the wart is frozen but stop before the surrounding
skin becomes too frozen.

Repeat daily as required.

NOTE - a gently touch is required or you end up squirting the stuff all
over your hand which is a bit stupid.

Far more convienient than finding time to go to the doctors.

Our little chap has 2 verrucae I will try it as the chemist said
bazooka (or whatever) can't be used on infants.

I am presuming "gaffa tape" is that silver/grey coloured waterproof
"sticks to anything" tape also branded as "ducktape" ?

Alternatively go to the chemist and buy the proper Wartner wart
freezing kit . Far more convenient than finding a Maplin shop, and far
less fiddly than your method.

If I get a wart, I burn it out with a 5mm tip soldering iron. That works
every time. It stings a bit, but if you get it right, the wart insulates you
from any real pain.

Beware, I inadvertently walked backward into a soldering iron and

Last time I went in for one that had got "agitated" the doc assured me
it getting inflamed wasn't anything to worry about then tied it off with
a very tight surgical knot, it stung a bit but dried up and fell off
just the same, he admitted he just wanted some knot practice ...

Doesn't work. I had three blackthorn splinters which kept some warts going
for a couple of years.

In desperation a couple of months bak I opened them up with a bloody
scalpel, (one of my aeromodelling sort) and eventually dug out two dust
specks of something black.

They SEEM to be going down and fading away.

I've had that with bits of swarf - I've found that if you can gently pry
the warty bit away from the surrounding skin for a few days it will
eventually stand out enough to rip it out by the root with tweezers.
Painful and bloody but it does the job.

The thing is there are different kinds of warts:

The raised molehill kind ok for the soldering iron or freezer.
Those that grow thin and long and are suitable for tying off.
The flat red area kind that are really a lot of tiny dots that slowly
spread out and are only suitable for proper surgical removal.

Any more?
