I had a plantar wart on my hand for almost three years, I chose not to go to the doctors instead buy one of those home freezing kits. Since it is a plantar wart it took three or four treatments, I did one once a week. It stayed sore but I havent had one since. There is enough in one kit for a lot of treatments. Im not sure which one I used, Dr. Scholls maybe... check it out at the drug store! =)
Warts may spread, develop into clusters or fuse to become a mosaic wart. Plantar warts can be painful making it difficult to walk and run. Over-aggressive treatment may lead to scarring. Others may be infected. If a wart is being treated professionally and does not seem to improve in a reasonable period of time, the growth should be excised and biopsied.
Prevention
* Avoid walking barefoot in public areas such as showers, communal changing rooms. (Covering with an adhesive bandage is not a safe method as it will not last for long at all, especially while showering or swimming)
* Change shoes and socks daily.
* Avoid sharing shoes and socks.
* Avoid direct contact with warts on other parts of body.
* Avoid direct contact with warts on other persons.
See a different doctor, the wart can be froze off.
