If surgical removal it will be sore for several days and will take time for the whole to fill in where it was removed.

Question 3

can bleomycin be used for plantar wart removal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Bleomycin is a anti-cancer drug.  Very small amounts of the drug can also be used in the treatment of plantar warts.  After debriding the area, bleomycin is injected directly into the wart.  Sometimes the area will first be numbed by an anesthetic, since this procedure can be painful.  Several injections are typically required until the wart is removed.
