A member asked:

Is it best to have planters wart removed by podiatrist /pcp or should i treat at home. it is black dot pink around it ,under ft. best treatment for?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A suggestion: You might try putting duct tape on this which you can change every other day. This actually can work. It should shrink the wart in 3-4 weeks and frequently will cause it to disappear. If present after about 6 weeks of this, see a podiatrist.
