Plantar warts that would not go away!!!

by Mom
(Richmond, VA)

My daughter had plantar warts on her foot, they were in 5 places otherwise known as mosaic warts. She went to the dermatologist, once a month for eight months to have them frozen and have acid put on them. She soaked her foot twice a day and put acid on the warts, then covered them with duct tape. Nothing helped until we heard about the cimetadine! What a lifesaver!!! Within two months, she had NONE. The cimetadine did cause some stomach discomfort after a month of use, but she would discontinue use for a week and start it again and the warts dissapeared. Now NO MORE DUCT TAPE!!! and best of all.... NO MORE WARTS!!

Hi Mom,
I tell my patients all the time that there are a hundred ways to treat warts and all that really tells you is that there is no one way to treat them, that no treatment out there works in a large percentage of people who try it.
I am happy to hear the Tagamet worked for your daughter. I have had some success with it over the years, but again it does not work in everyone.
