  2 0 For years I kept getting this one wart frozen off over and over and the little jerk kept coming back. A few years ago I tried duct tape pair with a pummace (sp?) stone and after a week it was gone and hasn't been back since. I just pummaced it every morning and evening and in the in between put the duct tape over it. And it actually wasn't too terribly sticky as long as your feet don't sweat too much. new york state of mind answered in Aches, Pains & Illness about 1 year ago | Report 2 comments by Irena and new york state of mind… 0 0 I'm going to try this, starting today. If it doesn't work, I'll add the aspirin or vinegar. Thanks!

  2 0 I hate warts and since I no longer mess around, I freeze the hell out of those suckers. However, I've used salicylic acid on them before successfully (though it takes a fairly long time), and since aspirin is bascially the same thing in slightly different form, I imagine it will work. You could probably use anything acidic if you kept patiently applying it. From past experience, I don't recommend digging plantar warts out with a knife. Less said about that the better.

  2 0 After trying the over-the-counter methods (stinky) and the duct tape method (sticky!), Mr. Luckier cured his plantar wart with apple cider vinegar. It was totally gross and stinky and turned black, but after years of trying, it is finally gone and he is allowed to put his feet in my lap again. http://www.apple-cider-vinegar-benefits.com/removal-of-warts-using-apple-cider-vinegar.html Luckier answered in Aches, Pains & Illness about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Irena… 0 0 Wow, I've never heard of this. Was his experience similar to the accounts on that website? How long did it take to go away?

  2 0 I haven't tried aspirin. But if you have a really persistent plantar wart that keeps coming back after multiple sessions of liquid nitrogen, one great solution that worked for me, believe it or not, was chemotherapy. I went to a dermatologist at Virginia Mason and she injected a tiny bit of a chemotherapy drug into the wart (warts and cancer are both problems with overenthusiastic cell division, after all). It hurt and it blistered just like freezing it would, but that damn wart NEVER came back. Good luck! Sacrelicious answered in Aches, Pains & Illness about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Irena… 0 0 This is really interesting and makes sense. That said, I'm trying to avoid a doctor's visit, so it would only be used as a last resort.

  2 0 To eliminate the wart, you must get very serious, and not be afraid of a little pain. Here is a great multiple attack method: 1) Get it frozen at the doctors office 2) Apply Compound-W and cover with Tough Strip Band-aids and Water-Block (clear) band-aids at all times (alternate use); apply the Compound-W, allow it to set up a bit, then apply a bit more and cover. 3) Between applications of Band-aids and Compound-W, remove dead tissue with tweezers and a sharp instrument; be sure to catch and dispose of all dead tissue, and keep the instruments clean 4) In addition to Compound-W, insert 24- to 48-hour applications of Dr Scholl's Clear Away medicated discs. Depending on the location of the wart on your foot, it will stay on through a shower. When removing the disc, carefully remove bits of disc and tissue. These work great at softening the tissue for removal. 5) Repeat steps 2-4 until the skin looks thin and reddish and it is painful to cover the Compound-W with a Band-aid. 6) Attempt to get one more application a Clear Away Disc 7) Remove remaining dead tissue 8) Apply Neosporin and cover with Band-Aids for several days, regularly changing Band-Aids and applying Neosporin; it will nicely heal if you do this If you're diligent, this will take about one month. The spot on your foot will look like hell during this, but don't worry; it will heal and look perfect. I also think it helps to think thoughts of destroying the virus--'will' your body to destroy it and help by attacking from the surface with the steps above.

  0 2 When I was a kid I was told you should spit on them every morning and they would go away. They did. infernactual answered in Aches, Pains & Illness about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by MyrnaMinkoff… 2 0 That's probably because most warts will go away in time. They are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), and like all viruses, your body eventually takes care of itself.
