Wart Plantar : How Do I Treat Plantar Warts?
Wart Plantar : There are a variety of ways to treat plantar warts. But before you consider treatment, ask yourself the following questions: Is my plantar wart causing me any pain? Do I find it difficult to walk, or play a sport? Is the situation getting worse? Is my wart getting bigger, or is the number of warts on the bottom of my feet multiplying? Am I embarrassed by my plantar wart? Am I worried about passing the virus on to other people?If you answered no to the above questions, then you shouldn’t feel like you have to seek treatment at all. Plantar warts are 100 percent harmless, and most warts go away all by themselves. But you must be patient. It can be months or even years before the wart is gone completely.If you decide to take treatment, you have several options. Generally warts can be treated at home using over-the-counter medications:• Salicylic Acid. Check out your local drug store for salicylic acid plantar wart treatments you can administer at home by yourself, or with the help of a family member or friend. The salicylic acid treatment can come in the form of a liquid or an adhesive patch. It should be a forty percent solution. The salicylic acid will cause the skin of the wart to peel off gradually. The process usually takes about a month. You can help the process along by removing the dead skin at home with nail clippers or a pumice stone. Be careful not to damage the surrounding healthy skin.• Duct Tape. Believe it or not, studies have proven that duct tape can be an extremely effective method for removing plantar warts. Apply tape to the affected areas of your feet and let it remain there for six days. On the seventh day, remove the tape, allow your feet to soak in warm water, and then remove the loosened and dead skin with a pumice stone. For particularly aggressive or reoccurring warts, visit your doctor who can assist you with the following treatment:• Cryotherapy. In this method, your doctor applies liquid nitrogen to your feet in order to “freeze off” the wart. The skin will blister and eventually slough off. You may need to have the treatment administered several times, and it can be painful. There are also liquid nitrogen “kits” that you can find in most drug stores and that you can use to apply the treatment without a doctor at home.
