Question 1

could i need crutches after a plantar wart removal?

Accepted Answer

Usually not...: I has 12 removed in different places on one foot many years ago and i walked all around on it before the first dressing change.  I don't have any of my patients use crutches after wart removal surgery.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

what can i expect when having plantar wart removal and healing?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on how the wart was removed.
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 4

what is plantar wart surgery recovery time? can i go to beach during it?

Accepted Answer

You shouldn't: It depends on how large of an area needed to be removed.  The bigger the wart, the longer it can take to heal.  Many times it takes about 6 - 8 weeks to heal.  You should keep the area clean and free from infection.

Question 5

have plantar wart on foot, going to dr. for removal but am pregnant. ok to proceed?

Accepted Answer

I would not: Wait till another time. There is always a risk of possible infection. This is elective surgery and in my opinion should not be done while pregnant.

Question 6

Question 7

will i need crutches or a cast or a sugry shoe for plantar warts and bunion removal?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Because you are training he way you are walking due to the surgery? Perhaps a vitamin deficiency like magnesium or potassium? Are you drinking enough water? All of these items should be considered.
