Apply the Wax: Carefully tilt the candle to allow the melted wax to drip directly onto the wart. Be cautious not to burn yourself or apply too much wax at once.
Cover the Wart: Allow the wax to cool and harden on the wart. This will create a seal over the wart. Some people believe that as the wax covers the wart, it cuts off the wart’s oxygen supply, which can help it to dry out and fall off.
Repeat the Process: You may need to repeat this process several times over the course of a few days or weeks, depending on the size and persistence of the wart. Each time, make sure to remove any old wax before applying a fresh layer.
Important Notes:
Consult a Doctor: While this method is a traditional remedy, it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider before trying any new treatment, especially for persistent or large warts.
Use with Caution: Be very careful when applying hot wax to avoid burns. This method should not be used on sensitive areas or by children without supervision.
Other Options: If the wart does not respond to this treatment, there are other medical and natural remedies available, including over-the-counter wart removers, cryotherapy, and more.
This candle method is an interesting alternative for those looking to try something different, but remember, patience and consistency are key. If successful, the wart should dry up and eventually fall off, leaving your skin clear and smooth
