Warts are benign skin lesions that can appear anywhere on the body, especially the face, neck, armpits, or groin. Whatever the cause—a virus, a hormone imbalance, or simply rubbing against the skin—the truth is that warts are unsightly. Therefore, we propose another natural method and one which is not well known for you to learn how to remove warts with thread.
- Gauze
- Alcohol
- Dental floss or cotton thread
- Scissors
- Antibacterial ointment
To begin the process of removing warts with a thread, you must clean and disinfect the area where the lesion is. Take some gauze, and put a little alcohol across the whole area of the wart. Then get a piece of thread (cotton or dental floss), and soak it with alcohol. Wrap the thread around the wart, getting as close to the base as you can. It's important to ensure that the thread is tight enough to cut off the blood supply, which is essential for the wart to fall off.
Once you have surrounded the entire wart, tie the thread and make a double knot so that it doesn't come undone. Now you must cut the ends of the thread with scissors to avoid it tangling with anything. And remember to disinfect the utensil; you must be very cautious with hygiene and disinfection. Proper disinfection helps prevent any potential infection and ensures the process is as safe as possible.
Leave the wart with the knotted thread around it for several days or even for a week until it falls off by itself. The thread will cut the blood supply to the wart and it will eventually die. This isn't painful, just annoying. During these days, while waiting for results, apply alcohol to the area to ensure that it is very clean and free of pathogens. Additionally, some people find that cleaning the area with a gentle antiseptic soap can further aid in keeping the area sterile.
When the wart falls off, it is recommended that you apply some cream to the area or even some antibacterial ointment until the area is completely healthy and healed. After the wart falls off, cover the area with gauze, and clean it daily. It is crucial to monitor the healing process; if any signs of infection or unusual redness appear, consult a healthcare professional for guidance. This post-removal care helps ensure that the skin heals smoothly and reduces the risk of scarring.

- If your wart is in a visible place and you don't want to walk around with a thread, you can apply a band-aid on it. Just make sure you take it off once you're home and let it breathe. Also, be cautious when removing the band-aid to avoid irritating the area or pulling at the thread.
