How do I know if my wart is dying?

I started with one wart on the ball of my foot a few years ago. But it has started to multiply, and now I have about 7 on my foot. I decided to take action and have been putting a wart removal solution (sasilic acid.) I have also been putting duct tape on it. Its getting white all around the warts. Is this what should be happening. How long do you think it will take to get rid of it, and how will I know when it is finally dead?

Put some warticon on it. They will drop off. Can buy it from chemist. Amazing stuff. Or wait till they are dry from your cream, and file them off.

Yep, they turn white as they are dying.
However, you need to realize that the virus is living in your body and has to run its course, so you may get the warts back again. Most people clear the HPV out of their bodies after 2 years or so.

There are several responses to this answer; you will find that many people have tried several remedies to get rid of warts. When I had mine; it took several months to get over. The way that I knew they were leaving was they started to shrink and eventually disappeared leaving some scars.

mine have just died, but they didn’t change color. They became flat and smooth then they fell off.
