If it's on the bottom, it's a plantar's wart.
The best stuff for a plantar's wart is TransVerSal pads. They come in 3 different sizes. You first bathe or soak your foot, then rough it up w/ an included emery board. Then slap one of these pads on the wart, then cover w/ a bandage (comes w/ it). Then in the morning, use a callous shaver to shave off just the thinnest layer of wart on top. This is easy to do/see b/c the dead part is now white. Then repeat the next night. This wil take 2-3 weeks, depending upon size of the wart.
Compound W works as well... just BE SURE to only put the medication on the wart itself, not the skin around the wart. This will take a little longer than TransVerSal pads... your local pharmacy has them, or may have to order them and get them in over the next 12-24 hours. They are OTC, but not usually "out" w/ wart remedies, but behind the counter.
Oh, and freezing/burning HURTS! The TVS pads do not.

There's a product at any local grocery store called "Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away Common & Plantar Wart Remover". Works every time instead of having to go to the Doctor's office to get it frozen off there. Good Luck.

don't cut it off! even if u did it would come back because you aren't getting to the root of the wart. Tell your parents that you really need to get this wart taken off. If it is a matter of no health insurance to take you to the doctor, i am sure there is some kind of assistance you can get.just don't cut it off on your own- that would be risking infection for no reason!

While it sounds stupid, duct tape (the silver brand) actually DOES work.
There are over-the-counter remidies such as Dr. Sholes wart remover that can work, depending on the type of wart.
If neither work, then you should see a foot doctor who can freeze it professionally. Painful, but it will work.

I had the same problem. What you need to do is have your mom or yourself set up an appointment with your dermtoligist ( or find one) and then ask to have your wart freezed - that is was i had done- or you can get i burned,i think. my uncles was very bad and he needed surgery but he had it there since his childhood. Good luck p.s it doesnt hurt to get your wart frozen was i said i did that

Get freeze-off at walgreens. It will bubble up and be completely healed in 3 weeks to a month. I stings though, 7.5/10. If you go to the doctor they would just do the same thing. Save yourself a visit.

Call your doctor. Foot warts can be very deep and need special attention.
