How to Get Rid of Warts on Your Lips

Warts are viral growths that occur underneath the skin. In most cases, warts are not detrimental to your health, but they may be painful or embarrassing. Most warts occur on the hands and feet, but can be found elsewhere such as your face. Warts on the lips can be treated with a simple at-home solution that can be easily applied throughout the day. This guide will show you how to rid your lips of unsightly warts.

Things You'll Need

• Apple cider vinegar
• Q-tips

Instructions

1. Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly.

2. Dip the head of a q-tip in apple cider vinegar.

3. Dab the wart with the q-tip, allowing the vinegar to cover the entire surface area.

4. Allow the vinegar to dry completely.

5. Repeat this 3 to 4 times a day until the wart disappears.

Tips & Warnings

• It may take several weeks, up to 2 months, for the wart to be completely removed. If no changes have occurred after 2 months, cease treatment and speak with a doctor about other removal options.

• Apply a small bandaid to the area if possible.

• Upon first application, the apple cider vinegar may cause a stinging sensation. This is normal and will dissipate as you continue to use the treatment.
