Yes, you can heal a wart with a Band-Aid, but not in the way you would think. If you use a traditional type of Band-Aid (with the pad in the center), do not place the pad over the wart, but cover the wart with the sticky part of the Band-Aid.

More effective than a Band-Aid, however, is Scotch tape. Believe it or not if, you cover a wart with cellotape and leave it on for several days, the wart will drop off or dissolve.

You may have noticed that if you ever leave a bandage on too long, the skin under the bandage goes white and loose. This is what happens to the wart, and then it disappears.

Is there a way to heal a cut over night?

How can you hide your nose stud from school if you cant take it out?

concealer is a good idea, but you need to make sure that it's thick enough to cover the nose stud! also, it helps if your stud is smallish cause those are easier to cover. good luck!Put a small bandaid on it. One for a wart would work. I don't think anyone is going to ask to see what is under a bandaid.

How do you get rid of a cut on the bottom of my toe?

Those are annoying! Clean it thoroughly and use hydrogen peroxide. Let it dry. Then, if it is just a simple two-sided cut (like a paper cut), use a small amount of superglue to close it up. Otherwise, you have to just let it heal by keeping it clean and applying antibiotic ointment with a bandaid for a few days.
