I had an innocuous little wart on one finger. Not particularly noticeable, but I wanted it gone.
The last time I treated warts I was a kid. I had one on the back of my hand, and classmates were shrieking "What is THAT?" in exaggerated horror. Ta bought me a treatment kit and it vanished rather quickly.
This time around, I remembered that I had heard once that wart treatment is salicylic acid. The main ingredient in aspirin is salicylic acid.
I double-checked with the internet and confirmed I wasn't (completely) crazy. Before bed, I dissolved an aspirin tablet in a dab of aloe, applied it to the wart, and covered with a band-aid.
In a couple of weeks—vanished.

Just curious, how did you dissolve the tablet? Just let it sit in aloe for some time?
Yes. Doesn't take long. It dissolves rather quickly.
