Wart Remover
i have plantar warts on my foot and its been there for months now. i tried the freeze stuff but it does not work, it just caused more pain. i started using the stuff in a glass jar, you just brush it on and now it is starting to come off and go away.
Hi,
Plantar warts because of their location (bottom of the foot) are pushed into the skin when you walk. This plus the fact that the skin is generally thicker on the bottom of the foot makes treating plantar warts more difficult then warts elsewhere on the body.
This is why freezing generally does not work on plantar warts; you cannot freeze deep enough to get all the wart.
This is also the reason why plantar warts have to be scraped, usually professionally, because it is otherwise difficult to get to the base of the wart due to its thickness. Scraping along with the use of a keratolytic agent can be very useful in eradicating warts.
