I went to the dermatologist and he froze it off, in 1 year, it came back, so I went back to the dermatologist and once again, he froze it off. In about 3 months. there it was again, so I went to the drug store and bought some of the new medicine to freeze it off myself and in about 5 months, here it is again. I read an article from Mayo clinic to use duct tape on it, so I bought some today and I am going to try it. Anyone have the same problem and know what to do about it? It just popped up out of no where about 18 months ago.

Duct tape works, but it takes a long time. The wart on the foot is a Plantar Wart. A little bit different from what you have on your hand.
The liquid nitrogen needs to be a really deep freeze to kill all of the papillomavirus in your skin. Next time you try it, freeze it really deeply. It should work.

my husband had a wart on his foot for a long time. He started using plastic athletic tape on it. It takes a few months for the wart to go away, depending on the size of it. You could always have it burned off. This will destroy the root, which freezing does not do.
