You have to give up and go to the doctor !

I had plantar warts under my toes as a kid. ANY OVER THE COUNTER stuff will NOT get rid of these kind of warts.

Plantar warts are different then others in that they have LONG roots on them and tend to grow downwards towards the bones, and wind around them. That root has to be killed down deep in order for the wart to go away. The doctor will numb the area so you don't feel anything...and he's the ONLY one that can get to that root safely.

DON'T BE CUTTING ON YOUR FOOT YOURSELF !!!!!! That is dangerous and also STUPID ! Do ya want to lose your foot ???

The strand of virus that causes plantar warts can't spread to areas that are histologically different. But if your bro has other warts, they can spread other places as well. There are many different strands, each with the ability (and inability) to affect specific areas. Plantar warts are very contagious. If you take a shower in the same shower as your brother, you could get them. Tell our bro to go to a doc, and they'll cut them out.

Moles, warts, and skin tags are typical skin lesions that develop naturally. Though they're generally low cancerous, they may be embarrassing if located on an obvious portion including the face. Epidermis wounds like moles and warts cause self-confidence problems to the sufferers. An individual with moles normally turns into a loner since they don't wish to be seen in public. They think uncomfortable to be out in public places, therefore depression can normally follow but now you can modify all this with this specific guide from here https://tr.im/jUUnN , Moles, Warts and Skin Tags Removal eBook.

I got rid of mine by removing the entire wart and packing the remaining hole with salt. It worked right away, but it was excutiating and a high infection risk.

To treat plantar warts, you'll need a 40 percent salicylic acid solution 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.

some times it may take longer this I know for I had several warts that were very hard to get rid of. but after many months, and bottles of salicylic acid I was able to rid myself of them. but this was under a Dr's advice and care


You acquire warts through direct contact with the human papillomavirus (HPV). There are more than 100 types of HPV. Some types of HPV tend to cause warts on your hands, fingers or near your fingernails. Others tend to cause warts on your feet.

The virus that causes plantar warts isn't highly contagious, but it thrives in warm, moist environments, such as shower floors, locker rooms and public swimming areas. So you may contract the virus by walking barefoot in public places.

Like other infectious diseases, HPV may also pass from person to person. If you have a plantar wart, you can even spread the virus to other places on your own foot by touching or scratching. The virus can also spread by contact with skin shed from a wart or blood from a wart.

Each person's immune system responds to warts differently, so not everyone who comes in contact with HPV develops warts. Even people in the same family react to the virus differently. That's why parents and kids don't necessarily spread warts by sharing the same shower



Plantar warts can be persistent. They can shed the virus into the skin of your foot before they're treated, prompting new warts to grow as fast as the old ones disappear. The best defense is to treat new warts as quickly as possible so that they have little time to spread.

If untreated, warts can swell to an inch or more in circumference and they can spread, developing into clusters of warts called mosaic warts. They may also become extremely painful. If you have lots of plantar warts, the pain may make it difficult for you to walk or run.



Aggressive treatments for persistent plantar warts
If your warts don't respond to common treatments, your doctor may suggest one or more of these other options:

Minor surgery. This involves cutting away the wart or destroying the wart by using an electric needle in a process called electrodesiccation and curettage. This treatment is effective, but may leave a scar if not done carefully. Your doctor will anesthetize your skin before this procedure.

Laser surgery. Doctors can use several types of lasers to eliminate stubborn warts. But laser surgery is expensive and painful and may take longer to heal than other treatments.

Immunotherapy. This therapy attempts to harness your body's natural rejection system to remove tough-to-treat warts. This can be accomplished in a couple of ways. Your doctor may inject your warts with interferon, a medication that boosts your immune system's instinct to reject warts. Or your doctor may inject your warts with a foreign substance (antigen) that stimulates your immune system. Doctors often use mump antigens, because many people are immunized against mumps. As a result, the antigen sets off an immune reaction that may fight off warts.
Imiquimod (Aldara). This prescription cream is an immunotherapy medication that encourages your body to release immune system proteins (cytokines) to help ward off warts. You can apply this cream directly to your warts. Imiquimod is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of genital and perianal warts, but it is also successful in treating common warts and plantar warts.
Other medications. In severe cases that haven't cleared with other therapies, your doctor may inject each wart with a medication called bleomycin, which kills the virus. This medication is given systemically in higher doses to treat some kinds of cancer. The injections for wart treatment can be painful and can cause rashes or itching. They're not used if you're pregnant or breast-feeding or if you have circulation problems.
