I have never tried this, but have been told it works like a charm.  But as for duct tape I use it for darn near everything.

I've been using the duct tape method for a few weeks..although not consistently.  When I'm wearing the tape (on the bottom of my foot) there is no pain.  Take it off and it feels like I'm walking on rocks.  I've noticed the rough callused skin around the warts getting softer... so yesterday while applying my dose of duct tape I thought... just for the heck of it... I put tape on the opposite foot... where the skin is rough and callused...Peeled it off at night and the skin is softer... and my foot didn't hurt as much throughout the day?  Duct tape may be my new athletic wrap.

Now that is a first I have hear off.  I am sure it will probably bring off skin.

Glad to hear it worked on callused skin.  Have one on the side of my foot and am going to try this.  Thanks for the tip

I think this is why they feel duct tape works, warts need oxygen to live so cover wart up with the duct tape than lift wart off with the duct tape.  :glasses-nerdy:

I don't know if it works but it sounds painful.

No. You could tear off part of your epidermis.

Even if it has a light and dark side and holds the universe together.

Removing warts with Duct Tape is probably a futile attempt.  ;)

Duct tape on a wart.  Why not go to a grocery store and buy a product that works for you.  Duct tape doesn't play.  If you do that, you may off more skin than planned.

My favorite duct tape quote...."If the ancient Egyptians had duct tape the Sphinx would have a nose".

maybe, but there are lots of better options - might be painful to remove
