    Yes! Paint some salicylic acid on it (the active ingredient in aspirin) and cover it with duct tape.

    As long as she can stand it. It will suffocate the wart.

    Not at all. (Except for the discomfort of having duct tape stuck to your skin.)

    You can find salicylic acid in drug stores, usually sold as a wart remover. But combining SA with duct tape is more effective than either one separately.

    When I had a plantar wart on my foot, duct tape was the only thing that caused it to pop out. I went in for freezing twice. Never worked.

    Just make sure you cover up the area afterwards, some skin may come out with it.
    You may need a decent size band-aid to protect it sans wart until the skin repairs itself. (and more to keep it fresh & clean for as long as it takes to heal fully, of course)

    I had them on my feet when I was young...doc used a chemical, then pulled them out like a little pill when the tape came off. (weird, but not painful)

    Here's a question for you. Discover card sent me a bunch of 0% APR checks.

    If I write one to myself, cash it, and then pay it right back to my Discover card, will this help me pay off my card faster because the interest will be lower? Curious minds.

    I think your payment will be applied to the 0% APR part of your balance. So it will be as if you did nothing.

    If you owe money on more than one card, you might want to use the money to completely pay off the one with the highest interest rate.

    I get these offers all the time. If you read the fine print, I bet you will see that you will be charged a 4% - 5% transaction fee in addition to the amount of the check you write.
    Then, as you make payments, the payments will be applied to the promotional rate balance first, then the existing balance, so you won't gain anything, plus you lose the 4 - 5%:(
