Absolutely: There are a number of ways to treat to treat warts. Salicytic acid liquids, Fluorouracil cream and Aldara (imiquimod) cream can be prescribed. Unfortunately, plantar warts can be very pesky and may require surgical removal.

Several treatments.: You can try over the counter wart removers, but be careful: i've seen them do more harm than good. Other options your doctor might offer include cryotherapy (freezing the wart), electrocautery (burning the wart), laser treatment, or several different topical chemical treatments. If the treatment is typically uncomfortable, your doctor can numb the area before proceeding.
