Warts
Posted: 06-23-07 11:27am

I've been getting planter warts on my foot. the doctor said there was nothing they could do about them, that i would have to wait until they went away by themselves. they have been incredibly painful so i bought some wart remover. the remover hurts so much more then the wart, i can barely walk on my foot. the remover is definitely working, I've only been using it for three days and you can see the warts being dissolved away. how do you know when the wart is gone?

Plantar warts do go away on their own with time, but many people opt to have them removed because they can be so uncomfortable. You could read the box and see if it has more information, but some over the counter treatments can take up to three or four weeks.

Try duct tape! It works better than the pricey acids that eat the wart away........wash the areaand dry well, buff it up with an emory board. Cover the entire wart with a small piece of duct tape. Leave this tape on until it starts to curl and then replace it with a new piece of tape. The idea is to smother the thing. Warts need air in order to live. It could take up to a month, but it will go away! Hope this helps! Cool
