Flat warts: Flat warts can take a long time to be treated. 1st thing is to make sure that this is the correct diagnosis. Several treatment options are available: freezing with liquid nitrogen, light electrosurgery, laser, topical Imiquimod gel, catharone. Most important is to treat them without leaving scars.

Return to the Dr.: Go back to the doctor so he can re-evaluate you. Sometimes it take a few different treatments to find one that works best for you.

I have a widespread plantar wart on left foot that spread to right foot a little bit. Been there for over ten years and nothing takes it away or treats it. I was told by a dermatologist that zinc will help, but it will never go away. Is this true?
