🧵 Healing properties of duct tape

/sci/, why does duct tape remove warts and seem to heal cuts better than bandaids?
>picrel
the dermatology literature provides at best conflicting hypotheses.
is it just 1,4-polyisoprene content in the adhesive resin? some nigerians tried rubbing a plant extract with it on beetus rats and they healed really well: https://www.sciencedirect.com/scien

I can write you down an incomplete list of substances in which I looked for wound healing benefits in online articles, but I haven't tried duct tape yet.

>Why does duct tape kill warts?
>Have you ever noticed that your skin looks a bit odd when it’s been covered with a bandage for a while? Duct tape has a similar effect, says Dr. Piliang.
>“Covering warts with duct tape makes the skin wet, pale and wrinkly, which isn’t an ideal environment for a wart,” she explains. She also notes that duct tape is such a strong adhesive that — when you pull it off — you’re likely to remove a layer of the wart along with it.
>Some experts think that the chemicals in duct tape’s adhesive could be triggering an immune response, speeding up the healing process. Others note that warts usually resolve by themselves eventually. And maybe keeping it covered isn’t doing anything to treat the wart, but it is preventing the virus from spreading to other parts of your skin.
this may be consistent with the 1,4-polyisoprene hypothesis, but it sounds like there is really no consensus on the mechanism of action.
