Plantar warts are notoriously hard to eradicate. My patients best experience has been with OTC medicated patches that you apply at home like a bandaid, and change every 24 hours for up to one month. This treatment provides continuous medication directly to the wart site, and causes sloughing of the wart layers over time so that it completely goes away. Talk to a pharmacist near you.

what’s on the feet are very difficult for various reasons. Putting medicine on a weekly basis for warts is to stimulate the immune system to fight it off. If Patient this will work but It can take a long time more aggressive procedures can be effective but again you’re still have the risk of failure. Because it is a virus there is no one best treatment. Are used to use Retin-A and vitamin C
