I'm treating a plantar wart with duofilm. removed the dead skin, removed the puffy "wart", liquid came out. grew again, applied again. is this right?

Plantar warts: If this otc medication is not effective you may need to see a doctor for more effective management. You can try it again, but if it does not resolve the issue you need more help. Good luck.

Continue.: Yes. The duofilm is innoculated with a high level of salicylic acid which is helpful to eliminate warts but it can take many episodes of dead skin removal and many weeks to months of treatment to resolve them. Consider seeing a dermatologist for possible additional destruction modalities like liquid nitrogen.
