Warts are a common skin condition that many people suffer from at some point in their lives. While they’re completely harmless, they can be irritating, uncomfortable, and even embarrassing, especially when they appear on visible areas like the neck or face. If you’re looking for a gentle and natural way to remove warts at home, one surprising but popular method is using banana peels . Yes, you heard that right: those humble banana peels we often throw away are said to have natural properties that dry out and remove warts over time. In this article, we’ll take a look at how this method works, give you step-by-step instructions on how to apply it safely, and outline important precautions to take.

What are papillomas

Before we get into the method, let’s briefly define what a papilloma is. A papilloma (called a skin tag in medicine ) is a small, benign growth made of collagen and blood vessels, covered with skin. It most often appears in places where skin rubs against skin or clothing: on the neck, under the arms, in the groin, on the eyelids, or under the breasts. Although they are neither dangerous nor contagious, papillomas can be unsightly. Common causes of their appearance are:

friction of clothing or skin;
hormonal changes (especially during pregnancy);
aging;
insulin resistance or obesity;
genetic factors.

Doctors can easily remove papillomas through in-office procedures, but if you’re not ready to go to a clinic or prefer a natural option, you can try the banana peel method.
