Plantar wart excision
Your doctor can numb the area, and cut out the wart. If the wart is large enough, it might require stitches. Other options your doctor might offer include cryotherapy (freezing the wart), electrocautery (burning the wart), laser treatment, or several different topical chemical treatments.
