The “Tape & Vinegar” Secret: Why Those Little Bumps and Warts Might Not Need a Doctor’s Laser

The “Overnight Eraser” Ritual: What People Actually Do

What you’ll need:

  • Apple cider vinegar (ACV)
  • Baking soda
  • Tea tree oil (optional, but commonly used)
  • A tiny bit of petroleum jelly (or a thick barrier balm)
  • Cotton (small piece) and a waterproof bandage or duct tape

Step-by-Step (Keep It Boring and Precise)

1) Mix a small paste. Combine a little baking soda with ACV until it stops fizzing and becomes a slightly runny paste. Add a couple drops of tea tree oil if you’re using it.

2) Protect the healthy skin. Apply a thin ring of petroleum jelly around the target area (not on it). This is how you avoid “oops, I burned everything.”

3) Apply to the bump only. Soak a tiny piece of cotton in the mixture and place it directly on the wart/skin tag.

4) Seal it. Cover tightly with a waterproof bandage or a small piece of duct tape so it stays put overnight.

5) Repeat consistently. One night won’t impress you. Consistency is the point.

What You Might Notice

  • Mild stinging or redness (irritation is common with vinegar).
  • The tissue looking darker or drier over time.
  • The surrounding skin getting angry if you skip the barrier step.

People quit right before it would have made a difference—usually because they irritate the surrounding skin and blame the method instead of the technique.

But here’s the real plot twist: the tape might be doing more heavy lifting than the “magic ingredients.”
