Has anyone heard of bananas being used to treat verrucas?!


Question: Yes, I have used this method after being told by a chemist's assistant in Boots!!!

At bedtime, cut a small square of banana skin and place it (yellow side out) over the verruca and fasten in place with a plaster. The next morning, remove (the banana skin will have gone black!) and file the skin gently.

It takes about a week to remove small to medium size verrucas. Larger ones may need more help!

Never heard of it. Verrucas need to be burnt off gradually, i wouldn't have thought that bananas had any acid in it to do this.
Yes i have and its the banana skin. Rub it on your foot beofre bed and it gets rid of them eventually. Dot knnow how it works though
Yes. put the inside of the banana skin against wart or verruca and cover with plaster

or use homoeopathic remedy Thuja
I've heard of using banana skins and pinapple skins as well. I've also heard potato peels work.
Yes in jamaca they make anybody with varucas climb the trees to collect them it wears them of.
I've hear it's garlic what you need to rub, the acid in it will slowly kill the verruca or wart.
Are you being a cheeky monkey.
