Warts are fungal growths on the skin

They are contagious and are usually picked up in moist places like swimming pools

They can disappear by themselves

If many warts are appearing this can indicate a mineral deficiency

what to do

• if you want to hurry them along soak a small piece of cotton wool in essential oil of lemon and place it over the wart
• secure in place with tape overnight
• repeat as often as required until the wart turns brown-black when it will fall off
