A member asked:

The skin i am treating for plantar warts with patches is peeling and a bit pink, should i wait before using more patches so it heals? or is it safe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Silver duct tape: Plantar warts can be stubborn to treat, and often the surrounding skin becomes eroded and painful, with little effect on the actual wart. If the skin around the wart becomes irritated, take a week off the topical salicylic acid treatment, and use silver duct tape. Once the skin is healed, you may restart with the salicylic acid pads. You may need to have your warts treated at the doctors office.
