Hi, my daughter had a bad dose of them and they started to get infected and therefore spread faster. What I did was use a stitch ripper to open them, removed the centre and then covered them with a sticking plaster until they dried. I did three a day until they were all gone. They healed quickly with no scarring  and have not returned. It was tough but I'm glad I did it.

try using a little ambesol or oragel to numb the area then yank that baby out. Do it fast like a band-aid

Go to doc and have it frozen off.  You can do it yourself, there is a product that will do the same thing.

The cheapest and fastest way... Put rubbing alcohol on your head.. soak your hair, wrap a towel around your head... leave it for about an hour. After that, put a white towel on the floor and comb your hair down so that the lice can drop on the towel. Once you see no more lice dropping, go shower and wash your hair of course. One treatment usually does the trick AND it gets rid of the eggs.

It is true that treating yourself with freezing kits will help the warts on the surface of the skin go away for awhile, but you really need to begin to attack the virus itself living underneath your skin. To prevent future outbreaks, try arming yourself with a DAILY vitamin regiment (not just when you have an outbreak). Taking a good multivitamin (like Men's One-A-Day or Centrum), vitamin C (about 2,000 to 4,000 mg DAILY **), vitamin E, astragalus, garlic (comes in odorless pill form),echinacea, vitamin B complex (at least 50 mg of each form of B-vitamin 3x daily), and zinc tablets(sold as lozenges and liquid form) will help boost your immune system and keep breakouts from occuring frequently. All these are sold at health food stores,such as GNC, or drugstores. Also healthy living  i.e. leafy greens, high fiber and protein, soluble fats, no trans fat, lots of water, low sugar and salt intake, exercising regularly, good amounts of rest...all of these things play an important role in your overall health and wellness and will ultimately help you to boost your immune system, which will help you fight infections and breakouts of warts.\n\n**The vitamin C should be taken throughout the course of the day, not at one time. You can take anywhere from 2,000 to 4,000 mg but you should only take as much as your body will allow. Start at 2,000 mg and gradually increase until you notice changes in your bowel movements (runny, diarrhea). Also get the vitamin C with ester. Ester helps your body absorb more of the vitamin, as vitamin C is water soluble and will be expelled in large quantity in your urine.

The Best Way to Remove a Tick\nThe possibility of tick-borne illnesses gives a sense of urgency to the topic. In chat here at DrGreene.com, a mother asked me about the best method for getting ticks off our kids (and animals). People in the room had heard of many methods: applying rubbing alcohol, smothering with Vaseline, painting with fingernail polish, twisting clockwise (or counterclockwise), and touching with a hot match. Though these methods are popular, they are not the best. Use tweezers to grasp the tick as near to the mouthparts (and as close to the skin) as possible. Use gentle, steady, straight force to pull the tick out. The site should then be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with alcohol or another disinfectant. \n\nThe tick can be killed by soaking in rubbing alcohol or flushing down the toilet (it should not be crushed or squeezed). Hands should be washed afterwards. Check with your local health department to see if they want the tick for monitoring purposes. \nhttp://www.drgreene.com/21_392.html\nhttp://www.rdoctor.com\nhttp://www.symptomat.com\nhttp://www.kavokin.com\nhttp://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/696_flea.html \nhttp://www.healthsquare.com/mc/fgmc1408.htm\nPrompt and complete removal of ticks does help prevent illness. This is a situation where the folk remedies can do more harm than good.  \n\nAlan Greene MD FAAP  \n \nJune 01, 2001  \n \nClick here to read yesterday's Daily Dose of Dr. Greene.

Use an extremely hot washcloth and apply gentle pressure to it, holding it over the pimple for awhile. Keep repeating...(don't pick it)

Tea Tree Oil is the best solution. I worked in a hair salon and we were not allowed to work on anyone with head lice. I would tell people to go to the health store and purchase a bottle of tea tree oil and put a cap full of it in whatever bottle of shampoo they chose and also in their conditioner. you can also put it in a spray bottle. It smells very strong but I never had trouble again when I discovered this.Customers would return after using this product and be so grateful and amazed.

There is no foolproof way to avoid it, but there's things you can do to help fend it off: wash your hands often, keep your hands out of your mouth and away from your face, get excercise, drink lots of water and tea,(adding fresh lemon juice to water and tea helps strengthen your immune system), take a good multivitamin, and eat plenty of fruits and veggies (raw), but avoid junk food. Also, a good detox system works wonders for strengthening your immune system (green tea, organic tomato juice, detox teas, colon or whole body cleanses)

Try tinactin a few times a day\n\nafter showering, dry your feet thoroughly\n\nand as hard as it is (and I know it is) DO NOT scratch\n\nthis is the best way to do it and Ive tried many ways\n\nalso avoid going barefoot in places that might be common to it such as lockerrooms, dorm bathrooms, etc. It is contagious and thats how I got it- happily fungus free now :)

Best is to cover it and leave it alone. It will ripen and when it is ready it is easy to lance it and get rid of all the puss. You may have to go to the doctors and get some antibiotics if it spreads.

Use a shampoo with Tea Tree Oil in it - always...\nThis should reduce risk if re-infestation.\nWhen head lice are found, it's important that everyone in the household decontaminates at the same time - it doesn't work if one of you leaves it till next week!
