What can do for a plantar wart without surgical intervention ?

Duct tape: You could try duct tape. Keep wart covered for six days straight air out for one day then repeat. Could add dr scholls also.

Duct tape or OTC : You can try some otc salacylic acid under occlusion with duct tape. The area may blister and fight the viral infection causing the wart.

Topical medication: Either your doctor can prescribe or you can use over the counter medication. Other options: freezing it or even oral medication in some instances.

The are: Over the counter wart medicines one can purchase at the local pharmacy. May contain sal-acid. Just make sure you place this medicine on the wart and avoid getting it on healthy skin.

See your doctor. : 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.

Wart: As stated , there otc topical meds that , frankly , don't work well . Don't use duct tape. Think about it - how does the tape not pull good skin off ? The best thing to do is see your podiatrist with whom you can develop a treatment plan.

Many things...: You can use the liquid nitrogen, liquid nitrous oxide (this is what i like to use), topical acids, dermal scraping. You can also try oral cimetadine (400 mg three times a day for 12-16 weeks).

Laser treatments, excisional surgery, etc., etc.
