When to see a doctor

Some warts are best treated by a dermatologist, especially if they are large, painful, or located in an uncomfortable area. Your doctor can remove them:

cryotherapy (freezing),
coagulation (cautérisation),
ligature (bandage),
excision (cutting with sterile instruments).

If you are unsure whether the formation is a papilloma, be sure to seek a professional evaluation.

Natural ≠ fast

Many people choose natural remedies like banana peels because of their gentle nature. This method requires time, consistency, and patience, but it can be a good alternative if you want to avoid more invasive procedures.

Conclusion

Removing warts with a banana peel is a simple, affordable, and non-invasive method that many find effective. While scientific evidence is lacking, the theory is that the enzymes and compounds in the peel gradually dry out the warts. If you’re looking for a natural DIY solution, this method is safe, provided you monitor your skin and follow precautions.
