Skin warts are a common occurrence. They are generally harmless and fall of on their own in a few months. Warts can be more embarrassing than harmful as they spoil your looks. They are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV).
If warts don't disappear soon on their own then you can use home remedies which generally work well. If home remedies and over the counter medicines are ineffective then doctors freeze them or cut off.
Warts can be easily confused with calluses and corns, so be careful in treating them as they require separate treatment.
Banana Peel works effectively in removal of warts.
You can use it alone or along with other antiviral natural products for quick results.
