A while back I had some warts on my hand.  They didn't bother me, so I didn't
seek treatment.  After a couple of years with no change, they suddenly
disappeared within a couple of weeks and didn't come back.  This happened
without any treatment, either by me or a doctor.  It's possible that the
vitamin E didn't have any effect, and that you decided to use it when the
warts were about to disappear anyway.
