Question 1

Question 2

10 yr old daughter had plantar wart frozen off today. what can i do for the pain?

Accepted Answer

Freezing pain: Basically, freezing warts off is very similar to having frostbite on a very small area of your foot. Sometimes pain relieving medication will take the edge off enough for her to be comfortable. Others feel better with warm soaks of the area, which in no way will adversely affect the treatment. Some tell me gentle pressure on the area relieves the pain. And of course, ice cream sundaes always help!

Question 3

i recently had a plantar wart frozen and i'm a week out and my foot is still throbbing .. is that normal ?  it's affecting my gait ...

Accepted Answer

Sounds like a bit : Much. I could understand the first day or two even three but I'd let the doctor know if still bothering you after a week.....what have you done for it? Is there any blistering of ths skin?

Question 4

three years ago i had a plantar wart frozen. this caused more discomfort than the wart itself. unfortunately, the wart has now come back. can i just leave it for now or is this dangerous? 'cause hpv can cause cancer? the wart doesn't really bother me?

Accepted Answer

: To answer your question, the answer is yes. However, the wart can spread to other areas of the foot. It is a virus infection. No cure. Many treatments. No one method is the best. Fir that very reason I used topical salicylic acid with Retin A cream on a weekly basis. Bandage on for 3 days. Could take 1 month to one year to resolve but not painful. No procedure can be guaranteed  good luck.
