Foot Problems / Plantars Warts
Posted: 08-13-03 13:13pm

I suffer from plantars warts (sp).My feet keep breaking out in them, sometimes often,and sometimes not showing up for weeks.They have become irritating.
When I was in the navy is when I was first exposed to the viral infection. The medical dept. Prescribed a tablet, (can't remember the name of medicine now), but it dissolves in h2o and seemed to do the trick, i.E.= getting rid of them. If any doc has a solution or can reccomend a medicine that will knock them out, I would be most grateful!! Sincerly, tenderfoot in il>

I am totally in on whatever cure there is! I have one plantars wart on my foot.....Has been there for 7 years now. I got it back in my soccer days. I have tried every external option...Dr. Scholls...Tea tree oil...Duct tape (yes, I tried this stupid home remedy!), and I went 6 times now (and counting) to have it burned off by a doctor with nitris oxide I believe (something like that anyways). It freezes the skin so much that it is supposed to burn the skin and the wart right off. Well, each time I attempted, I would go about 5 sessions, and it looked as tho it was gone by the end. Sure enough, a month later, the stupid thing is still there. Although, I am quite fortunate I only have one, and it has never spread....It just wont go away!!!! The doctor even told me to give up trying to remove it any more unless it is causing me great discumfort. Confused
