Hi guys. Just came across this site while researching how to remove a wart at home. Im 32 weeks pregnant & got a small wart on my finger which isnt very painful but does look ugly & does pain sometimes. I want to try the ACV remedy just wondering if it would be safe for me to do? Apparently warts do come up when pregnant prior to this i never had it. Thanks in advance

    I'm sure Apple Cider Vinegar would be quite safe for use.   Other home remedies are rubbing with the inside of a banana skin and also excluding air from the wart by wrapping it in duct tape.  After 6 days you remove the tape and rub the wart with pumice stone to remove it. Worth a try.

    If you find the number of warts is increasing you may need advice from your pharmacist or doctor. You certainly dont want too many on your hands when you have a new baby to care for.

    ACV is completely safe to treat warts while pregnancy. Just soak a cotton ball in some ACV, place it on the wart, put a band-aid over it and leave it on overnight.  Let it air out the next day a bit and repeat as needed. The wart will begin to die from the inside (turning black) and eventually fall off. Non-medication approach is the best treatment for women who have warts while pregnancy.
