Nail Polish

I read somewhere that clear fingernail polish could possibly clear up warts. Has anyone tried this and had any luck?

...I think I tried that when I was a
kid on my hand warts...I don't think
it worked.

that seems like a bit much of a
hassel. Just go to the docs..

actually i think that would make it
worse... have you ever taken ur
nailpolish off and ur nails been
yellow cuz you had it on for like a
month? nailpolish=no oxygen to virus.
Oxygen "oxidizes" and kills the
virus... There fore i dont think it
will work

hmmm.. interesting post above...where
have you heard/read about the viruses
relationship with oxygen? Is it just
a guess (not that its a bad one!) I'd
like to learn more about that.

The oxygen thing is true although there
has been some research that putting
duct tape on hand-type warts works too
so some of this stuff is inconclusive.
For GW...Aldara.

3M makes duct tape and aldara.
Interesting.

Now if we could just figure out how
their sticky notes work into the equation...

I don't think I'd ever put nailpolish
on the skin anywhere near my vagina.
That just sounds unsafe! Try that
experiment on your hand or foot.

I am trying this Nail Polish thing out
on a wart that I have on my arm. I am
into my second day and it appears to be
drying out. I read that warts appear
in moist, damp places so I figured it
might work by concealing it.

hmmm...keep us posted
