What should i do when antifreeze doesn't work on my plantar warts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't use antifreeze: You can try over the counter wart removers from the drug store, but be careful: i've seen them do more harm than good. Other options your doctor might offer include cryotherapy (freezing the wart), electrocautery (burning the wart), laser treatment, or several different topical chemical treatments. If the treatment is typically uncomfortable, your doctor can numb the area before proceeding.
