Question 1

hi how do you get rid of plantar warts under my child's foot?

Accepted Answer

Visit his doc/derm: These seldom respond to over the counter treatments but there are some available. These are different than regular warts by having most of the wart below surface level. Your pediatrician may/ not have a liquid CO2 pen to treat it, or the chemicals that can gradually remove it. A local dermatologist would usually have several options for removal. More than one visit is often needed to get it all

Question 2

plantar wart for around 4 months now,cluster together on one foot but same foot their are small ones. would i get all of them cut out at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Warts: If conservative care is exhausted , then surgical resection can be a good option.  I use a CO2 laser for this when needed as it is much more precise than conventional surgery with a  scalpel blade .

Question 3

how do i get rid of plantar warts on feet?

Accepted Answer

Simple: See your physician or your dpm  for excision planter wart. Smaller ones are amicable to local medication.

Question 4

can it hurt to get a needle in your foot during plantar wart surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes it hurts but there are other alternatives to excision and curettage that do not require injections. There is cryofreeze, seal cyclic acid treatments and blistering agents none of which require anesthesia.

Question 5

can you only get athletes foot in one toe on one foot, or is it plantar warts? i have small itchy clear bumps with clear liquid in them.

Accepted Answer

Not warts!: Yes, you can definitely get athletes foot on one or two toes. It's usually under toes that don't get completely dry after showering. Warts are hard, thick areas without liquid inside. What you describe sounds more like athletes foot. An over-the-counter antifungal cream might help.

Question 6

i had this thing on my foot above the heel for several weeks. found out it was a plantar wart. how do i get rid of it??

Accepted Answer

Local destruction.: Turns out are hard to get rid of. Your doctor can freeze, burn, inject or even use a laser. Ultimately it takes a good immune reaction to the freezing or other treatment used by the doctor. We damage the tissue by freezing and your imune system then attacks the wart. See your doctor. The over the counter treatments dont work well for plantar warts. The skin on the foot is very thick.

Question 7

i am a teacher and i walk around all day, i think i have plantar warts on my foot. it is right under my big toe, they are large warts. when i get them removed, will i need crutches since i walk around all day when im working?

Accepted Answer

: It really depends on how they are removed-if they are treated chemically, then you will likely be able to bear weight on your foot. If the warts are removed by cutting them, then it depends on how deep they are if weight-bearing without crutches will be advised. You should ask the doctor doing the procedure if crutches will be needed. Good luck!

Question 8

plantar wart is making my foot hurt so bad. any suggestions to get rid of it? have tried compound wart, duct tape, sallyic acid, pumice stone etc

wart

Accepted Answer

How to destroy it...: A dermatologist or some primary care doctors can destroy a plantar wart by freezing it, by cutting off the top of it and freezing the base of it, or by using an electric needle to zap it to death... or even doing surgery on it if it is huge and deep. So, it all depends on how big it is, which part of the foot it's on, what the patient wants to do, and what equipment the doctor has in the office.

Question 9

i have what i think is a plantar wart on pad of my foot below my toes. its itchy dry skin spot, my husband got them from his sister who got hers confirmed. it looks exactly like it. we have a daughter that crawls can she get them on hands/mouth?

Accepted Answer

Yes &amp; no: Warts are caused by strains of virus that are acquired from environmental exposure. Those strains that infect the skin/foot are specific to those skin types. They do not infect the mouth. Your husband may or may not have got them from a sister or just from a contaminated floor surface. The virus does not pass easily &amp; most occurrences are random. It is not like a strep germ.

Question 10

how do i get rid of plantar warts on my 6th grade child's heel?

Accepted Answer

Warts: Each night before going to bed soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar, apply it to the wart and then hold it in place with a band-aid. Leave it on all night, or if you like, 24 hours a day but change the soaked cotton and band-aid each evening for a week. The wart will swell and may throb as it reacts with the vinegar and then start to turn black within the first two days and in two weeks gone.
