51 is more than just a normal case of warts, there is a medical term specially for when the body grows a lot of warts and your lad should kick up a right fuss with the local PCT untill they send him to someone who knows what they are doing........f*****g NHS, shower of shite!

I think you're thinking of skin tags rather than warts? you wouldn't be able to tie cotton round a wart.

 

I feel a bit sick!

I found this on the net ...some good info

 

Warts are skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). There are more than 60 kinds of HPV, some of which tend to cause warts on the skin. HPV stimulates rapid growth of cells on the skin's outer layer. In most cases, common warts appear on the fingers, near the fingernails, or on the hands. Certain types of HPV can also cause warts to appear in the genital area.

Types of warts

• Plantar warts: This type of wart usually appears as flesh-coloured or light brown lumps that are flecked with small clotted blood vessels that appear as tiny black dots. Plantar warts (verrucas) appear on the soles of the feet.
  
• Genital warts: Genital warts can appear in the pubic area, on the genitals, in the anus, and/or in the vagina. They look like small flesh-coloured, pink or red growths in or around the sex organs. The warts may look similar to the small parts of a cauliflower or they may be very tiny and difficult to see. They often appear in clusters of three or four, and may grow and spread rapidly. They are not usually painful, although they may sometimes cause mild pain, bleeding and itching. HPV infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the UK and certain strains of the virus - but not those causing genital warts - can cause cervical cancer.
  
• Flat warts: This type of wart is more common in teens and children than in adults. Flat warts are smoother and smaller than other warts and they generally occur on the face. Flat warts also can appear on the legs, especially among females.
  

Warts are caused through direct contact with HPV, which is contagious. HPV may spread by person-to-person contact or through direct contact with an object used by a person with the virus. The virus that causes warts also can spread to other parts of the body of the person with warts.

How are warts treated?

 

In most cases, warts found on the skin are harmless and can disappear without treatment. However, genital warts should be checked by a doctor.

Sometimes, warts may recur after treatment and more than one type of treatment may be necessary. Although practitioners attempt to clear warts quickly, most methods require multiple treatments. Treatments may include:

• Freezing (cryotherapy): A doctor will use liquid nitrogen to freeze a wart. A blister forms around the wart and the dead tissue falls off within about a week.
  
• Salicylic acid: The acid “burns” off the top layer of the wart. Every few days the dead tissue can be rubbed away with emery paper, so the wart is removed bit by bit.
  
• Covering with duct tape: One study found that covering a wart with strong adhesive tape is likely to clear the wart within a month or two (duct tape was used in the study.) In this study, about seven in 10 warts had cleared within two months using duct tape. It may be worth a try as it is painless. However, further studies are needed to clarify the role of this treatment.
  
• Minor surgery: When warts cannot be removed by other therapies, surgery may be used to cut away the wart. The base of the wart will be destroyed using an electric needle or by cryosurgery (deep freezing).
  
• Laser surgery: This procedure uses an intense beam of light (laser) to burn and destroy wart tissue. It may be used for warts that are difficult to treat.

Charm them away by rubbing them with a potato cut in half................then bury the potato! Other than that,stay healthy and wait til they go away.

It's a virus under the skin or something so it'll take as long as the kid has the virus for them to go away. It's a shame but apart from freezing them every time they show up I'm not sure what else he can do?

put a knife to mine when i were at school, fecking hurt but worked.

Sell them to someone.....(old wives tale).

[Malt 379]

My brother had a load and someone told him to rub the insides of broad bean pods all over them then chuck them away somewhere and never to tell where he chucked them. Within weeks they were all gone! Big coincidence IMO..

 

I had a load when I was in my teens. I had one that used to give me gip on the back of my thumb so I cut it off with a pair of scissors. By the time it had healed the rest had fecked off!
