Common treatments for simple plantar warts
Your doctor may suggest trying these common treatments one at a time or in combination:
Salicylic acid!. Wart medications and patches are available at drugstores!. To treat plantar warts, you'll need a 40 percent salicylic acid solution or patch (Curad Mediplast, Dr!. Scholl's Clear Away Plantar, others), which peels off the infected skin a little bit at a time!. Apply the solution once or twice each day, being careful to avoid healthy skin, which can become irritated from the acid!. In between applications, pare away the dead skin and wart tissue using a pumice stone or emery board!. You may need to repeat this process for up to three or four weeks to completely eliminate warts!.
Duct tape!. In a well-publicized 2002 study, duct tape wiped out more warts than freezing (cryotherapy) did!. Study participants who used "duct tape therapy" covered their warts in duct tape for six days, then soaked their warts in water, and gently rubbed warts with an emery board or pumice stone!. They repeated this process for up to two months or until their warts went away!. Researchers hypothesize that this unconventional therapy may work by irritating warts and the surrounding skin, prompting the body's immune system to attack!. Today, duct tape is commonly used to treat warts, especially for children who may find freezing painful or scary!. It's often combined with salicylic acid!.
Freezing (cryotherapy)!. Freezing is one of the most common treatments for plantar warts and is usually effective, but may require multiple trips to your doctor every two to four weeks!. Your doctor can apply liquid nitrogen with a spray canister or cotton-tipped applicator!. The chemical causes a blister to form around your wart, and the dead tissue sloughs off within a week or so!. Freezing isn't commonly used in young children because it can be painful!.
Cantharidin!. Doctors and healers have used cantharidin
