Skin Warts? Israeli Doctor Recommends: "Try This Miracle Cure Before Visiting Me"

After almost 20 years of suffering from them, I finally decided to let home remedies work their magic on me and tried the fig milk that so many praise for removing 'tags' (skin lesions) from different areas of the body.

Only one day has passed since the 'experiment', but already an hour after applying the white liquid (fig sap) on my neck, I felt a burning and tingling sensation on the 'tags'. They haven't disappeared yet, and even when I try to pull them out, it still seems impossible—but since my dermatologist appointment is only in two months, I have nothing much to lose.

This home remedy intrigued me so much that I find myself immersed in countless studies conducted on it—from treatments against leprosy, through treating wounds and eye infections, to skin cancer treatment. Research on fig milk has found that the sap contains over 200 active compounds that help fight cancer cells, one of which is a substance called 3-R that has a large and far-reaching impact regarding skin cancer.

Jews in Turkey, Morocco, and Tunisia used to apply fig sap on various purulent wounds, stubborn warts, and even as a preventive treatment for leprosy. Some people drip the milk from the fig itself, while others break a fig tree branch and collect the drops from the break.

"Fig milk does exactly the same action as the liquid nitrogen used by dermatologists," our clinic nurse recently told me. "There's no concern in using it, just keep in mind that some people may be sensitive to this substance and develop allergic reactions."

What are the important points to pay attention to?

• Fig sap burns the skin, so avoid applying it on sensitive areas like the armpit, or around unaffected skin. The usage should be localized and careful, applying petroleum jelly (to act as an isolating material) around the skin with the wart, and then applying the fig milk with a toothpick on the wart spot.
• This treatment, like many others, requires patience, and results aren't always visible overnight.
• This treatment is not suitable for all types of tags/skin lesions.
• Sometimes this treatment may cause an inflammation.

Dr. Tel-Oren, who specializes in treating viral warts, recommends trying this home remedy before visiting him, and thus writes on his website: "Apply fig milk or milk from the stem of fig leaves, which is the most recommended remedy, several times a day, and insert the milk into the viral wart with the help of a toothpick. Before applying again, scrape the dry part of the wart with a file."

What to do if fig milk harms sensitive areas and causes a burn?

Soak a cloth towel in milk or yogurt and place it on the burn site. The milk will soothe the area and help with faster healing.
