A member asked:
Is vitamin a and/or zinc effective in treating plantar warts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: I can find no reason to think that either would work. This is a viral infection that causes a tumor and the body needs to mount an immunologic response to control the virus. This is why 60% of warts resolve in two years.
