Don't know: There are testimonials that this can be effective - but I am not aware of any research on the matter. Mayo clinic notes three alternative tx’s that purportedly might help: Sliver nitrate, Zinc and smoke box. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/plantar-warts/basics/alternative-medicine/con-20025706

Apple Cider Vinegar: Would be a better choice, but it depends on the size of the wart and if it truly is a plantar wart. If you want you can make an appointment and submit a photo to have it evaluated. I'm am available all day to help. Thanks for using HealthTap!
