How To Get Rid Of Brown And Hard Warts On Big Toe?

Hello. I ve two warts on my big toe. One of them is small, but the other one is a little bigger. I ve applied garlic and banana peel for treatment, and my big wart has turned brown. The skin of the wart is really hard... the other one is turning brown too. What should I do now? Peel the skin of the wart off? Or just keep the treatment of the garlic?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Wart on big toe need to be examined clinically.
The wart like lesion can be a skin or soft tissue lesion.
Garlic and banana peel treatment is unlikely to treat a primary skin or soft tissue lesion.
I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment of the wart like lesion.
If the lesion is a raised and elevated, surgical excision followed by histopathological examination will be sufficient.
However, home remedies will not help till exact nature of the lesion is known.

Thanks and take care
