I have one pretty big and nasty wart on my foot and it's getting to be really annoying. I've tried using a couple of different methods, like bandages with little pads of acid but those didn't work. I also tried this kit where you wash your feet, use a provided file and scrub down the wart and then put some acid on the wart. I did this for around three weeks and it didn't have any effect. Does anyone have a good idea of how to get rid of them for good? And I'm trying to avoid duct tape as I heard it actually doesn't get rid of the wart for good.
Thanks

Plantar's warts can be notoriously difficult to treat so most home remedies will not work. However, there are many methods for treating them so please see a podiatrist. The methods are:
freezing with liquid nitrogen
Upton's paste
salicylic acid in white parafin
formalin soaks
5-fluorouracil ointment
cryotherapy
laser therapy
debridement (surgery)

As you can see, there are many options and that is because these warts can be difficult. Good luck!

I had one in junior high, and let it go. It spread so bad that my whole ball of my foot from my toes and down the side had to be burned. It took several sessions before the Dr got it all. Forget what that one said about the nerves and all, your foot will recover, since you walk on it and use it all the time, it will rejuvenate and become normal. You couldn't even tell a few months after that anything was ever done to my foot.
