Several years ago, Dr. Dean Focht, a medical resident at Madigan Army Hospital in Tacoma, Washington, had 51 individuals, ages 3 to 22, use either standard liquid nitrogen freezing therapy or "duct tape therapy" for wart removal.
Of the 25 individuals using duct tape, 85 percent had their warts disappear, usually within a month. In the 26-member liquid nitrogen group, only 60 percent of the warts went away. The therapy itself is fairly easy: Just cut the duct tape to the size of the wart and stick it on for six days. Then remove the tape, soak the wart in water, and buff it with pumice or an emery board. Twelve hours later, apply new tape. Repeat this cycle until the wart disappears.

Buy some Vit E capsules and squeeze them onto a cloth and apply the cloth to the affected area, repeat daily with fresh Vit E, they will get rather tender, but after a few days they will be able to be scratched out. My brother in law had them on the soles of his feet and could hardly walk, so he tried the Vit E treatment and in a few day he could remove them with a light scratch of his finger nail. He was amazed, having endured freezing, operations, but they kept coming back. He said they left conical holes in his feet, but they healed out.

Put in on the wart with a cute-ex. I'd say remove next day and repeat. It's easy costless, and wort a try.
