Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 This is from my previous post, sorry if you have got it twice. This treatment works very well for removing plantars warts..... If you have white looking spots on the bottom of you feet that looks kind of like a white area under the skin chances are you have something called plantars warts. They are usually pretty sore and it hurts to walk on them, kind of like walking on a bruise. I got one of these things about 10 years ago and it took about a week of research to find out exactly what it was and how to get rid of it so I can save you some time if you have one. I got it a few days after staying in a motel on a business trip. Plantars warts are caused by a virus and yes, they are very contagious and are spread by contact. If you have one, chances are someone else in your family will catch it from you if you do not take the right precautions. First, if they step anywhere you have stepped with bare feet they will probably get it. If you have one of these it is very important that you do not walk around in your bare feet and spread it around. Clean the shower or tub with clorox after taking a bath, also wear flip flops or some sort of shoes any time you take your shoes off. You can pick one of these up at a swimming pool, shower or any place someone who has one has stepped with bare feet. To get rid of it: Use a new razor blade and carefully remove the thick dead skin that is on top and around the immediate area of the wart. The goal here is to get down to where the wart is at but be carefull not to actually cut live skin, just remove the thick dead skin. The wart will look similar to a white blister under the skin. The longer you have it the bigger it gets. Apply an over the counter wart remover that contains salicylic acid. There are a number of them that are available over the counter at your local drug store (Wart Off is the brand I used). The application of the wart remover will begin to very slowly dissolve the skin and kill the virus because it is an acid but it does it so slowly it does not hurt at all and is not painful in any way. Apply this several times a day, just put it on right on top of the old application, no need to remove it. You will see improvement in 3 to 4 days and total healing could take up to 2 weeks, all according to how bad it was and how far it had spread when you started treating it. If you are a diabetic you do not want to use the salicylic acid. You probably need to consult a physician and use the freezing method to kill it instead.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I used to have terrible plantar warts...had them cut out, frozen out, taken out with acid, and they always returned. I was doing pretty well, but still had the " mother wart " that didn't respond to 2 years of topical medication. Then someone suggested I put eggplant on it. I secured it with duct tape, changed it every day, and within a week the wart was gone and has never returned. This was around 4 years ago, which is an all time record for me. I've also heard that banana peel can help. Good luck with those nasty things!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 The duct tape worked for me but it took about 3 months. You could try oil of oregano and see if that would work. Peace, thyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
