Understand how to freeze a wart. Over-the-counter cold kits use dimethyl ether and propane to freeze the wart and the tissue around the wart. Realize that the wart will not instantly fall off after treatment. It may take several treatments and up to 3 or 4 weeks before the wart gradually disappears.
You should cover the wart with a small piece of duct tape just like you would use a band-aid. Warts deprived of air and sun exposure sometimes die without the need for topical treatments. Remove the tape once a week, wash the skin and rub off any dead wart tissue. After it has dried thoroughly overnight, re-apply the duct tape. The tape treatment may be needed for eight weeks. So find some cool duct tape that your child will like wearing. To get faster results with duct tape, use an over-the-counter wart medicine. The best ones contain 17% salicylic acid. Put the medicine on the wart once a day enough to cover the entire wart. Be aware, do this in a well ventilated area, because the acid stinks. Cover the wart with duct tape after you put the medicine on the wart and the medicine has dried.
