TO: All melanoma researchers, doctors, and patients.

A famous 2002 study found that a small spot of gray duct tape applied
to a wart for up to two months eliminated it in nearly all cases,
whereas a recent 2007 study found that transparent duct tape hardly
worked at all. The investigators jumped into the most complicated
speculations, ranging from the body's immune system to the adhesive's
magic chemicals, yet what is the simplest explanation for why the
opaque version resolves warts but the clear one does not?

As sunburn vividly demonstrates, sunlight stimulates circulation in
the skin, so darkness must dull it. By blocking light, the gray duct
tape just reduces blood flow to the wart and it starves.

But a spot of pigmented tape is an artificial mole. Thus, tape
occlusion should come with a warning--it raises the risk of melanoma.


Why do foot warts having sunlight blocked by both socks and shoes thrive
instead of starving.?
