Get question!: You may need more than sal-acid to treat your warts. Usually debridement or cutting the wart tissue down helps. Different therapies including other medications, excision or laser therapy may be beneficial.

See below: You may not have used the medication long enough. There is no prevention.

Consider biopsy: If the sal acid treatment was ineffective, your doctor may consider doing a biopsy. Some lesions can mimic warts. See a podiatrist to have that evaluated.
