Plantar Wart???

I had two frozen off earlier in the year.  It was no big deal at all.  I can't remember for sure, but I think I went right back to running... maybe in a couple of days.

Good luck

I've had several over the years and have gotten rid of all them on my own with over-the-counter products.  17% salicylic acid (generic because I am cheap!) for a bunch of mosaic warts on my toes applied daily for about 6-8 weeks.  About every 5th day or so I would scrape off all the dead skin that builds up on the surface.  For solitary warts on the bottom of my foot, I've used the same 17% salicylic acid, but I've also used the pads (which I think might be 40%?).  The pads are put on every other day and left in place for two days.  A little more expensive than the liquid, but more convenient.  Again, scraping the dead skin off every 4-5 days.  Still takes many weeks to remove a wart. 

Actually my doctor gave me little hope of curing the mosaic warts on my toes, but I was persistant and they haven't come back in 5 years.

I've had many plantar warts frozen off the bottom of my foot.  Recently, I've had pretty good luck with the over the counter freezing kits.  I run on it once it's done, but I don't generally find the pain to be that bad. 

If you only have one, I'd probably go with the freezing kit over the salicylic acid.  The acid talks a long time, but it's better for many warts.  Also, make sure you are spraying your shower down with shower cleaner after every shower.  Prevents you from spreading it to anyone else (or even yourself). 

Thanks for the great ideas!!!

I am going to give them a try.... I called the doctor and said that I was going to wait...(I saw the price of surgery and decided to try over the counter and duct tape first!!!)

Anyway THANKS

I've also treated many, many of my own with good success, using OTC salacylic acid and bandaids, and I've had just as good results with a tiny dab of vaseline and duct tape. I had one frozen off with liquid nitrogen and found it was a quick-fix, but much more uncomfortable.

I haven't tried it yey, but I will be seeing my chiropractor when my next one crops up - he and some of my peers state that ultrasound applied to the wart shortens the span of the  virus that causes them (HPV).
