dont panic ok, since it just a foot wart, let me brief u abt wat i know abt wart;Warts are small, benign (harmless) growths caused by a viral infection. They occur on the skin or the mucous membrane. The mucous membrane is tissue that lines the nose, throat, digestive tract, and other body openings. The viruses that cause warts are members of the human papilloma virus (HPV) family. Warts can be transmitted from one person to another and they can travel from one part of the body to another.
foot wart cud be described this way;Foot Warts
Foot warts are also called plantar warts. Plantar warts usually occur on the ball of the foot, the heel and the bottom of the toes. The skin in these areas is subject to weight, pressure, and irritation and has a tendency to crack or break open, providing an opening for the virus. Foot warts usually do not stick up above the skin.
People of all age groups can get plantar warts. But they are most common among adolescents between the ages of twelve and sixteen. The virus can be picked up in locker rooms, swimming pools, or by walking barefooted on dirty surfaces. People with diabetes mellitus (see diabetes mellitus entry) are very likely to develop plantar warts. The warts develop in areas where sores did not heal properly
but i think this home remedy might help that if u want to combine it with going to see the doctor, but it helped my friend;Apply a paste made of vitamin C powder to the wart for one to two weeks.
Place a crushed or sliced clove of garlic over the wart for seven consecutive nights while sleeping.
Soak the wart in water. Then make scratches in the wart with a sterile needle. Apply drops of thuja dissolved in alcohol to the wart. Repeat several times a day for one to two weeks.
Tape a piece of banana peel on the wart over night, with the inner side of the peel touching the skin. Repeat nightly for one to two weeks. try this it might help ok. take care
its the HPV virus. You can buy over the counter meds to help get rid of a plantar wart.
The papova virus causes warts, and no there should be no long term problems. You can have it removed if you like - but most of them tend to work themselves out over time. It can take years for some though !
Good luck.
It's human papillomavirus. I don't think a wart on your foot can hurt you. Some strains of HPV cause cervical cancer, but I'm pretty sure that the type that causes warts on your foot is the type that doesn't cause cervical cancer.
It's still a good idea to see a doctor about it, just to see what he recommends for getting rid of it.
Put a piece of raw cabbage leaf over the wart, and under your socks. Change it once or twice a day until the wart is gone. (Probably 3 days)
Add garlic, and citrus to your diet.
Put cornstarch in all of your shoes.
I don't think western dr's really understand warts. They can burn or freeze them off, but more might grow. It is treating the symptom, not fixing the problem.
Purple coneflower/echinacea tea should also help by strengthening your immunity, and the combination of these things should help to bring your body back into natural balance.
Happy healing!
It is a strain of the hpv virus. See the source below for plenty of skin wart information.
