Hi Pam,

Those are called plantar warts. There was quite a wart discussion on this list

about 3 weeks ago so you may want to check the archives. Consider antivirals.

Some have had success with duct tape.

<p>Hi all,<br>

Does anybody know of a way to treat these other than things like <br>

Compound W or other removers? <br>

Thanks,<br>

I used duct tape on mine. You have to leave it on a LONG time, but it

did work. Do they hurt when she walks? Those plantars warts are really

painful.

___,,,^.~.^,,,___ Look for a doctor that does " cryo-surgery. "

They touch the wart head with a probe that is chilled by liquid

nitrogen and hold the probe in place on the wart for 30 seconds

(for an adult, I would imagine less for a child) and then remove

it. He lets the area warm back up for about a minute or two,

then reapplies the probe for another 30 seconds. There is

basically no pain associated with the procedure. Temperatures

that cold are way beyond your brain's comprehension of what

" cold " is supposed to feel like, so you don't register the sensation

as coldness. It feels more like a bit of a pinching sensation.

After the two 30 second zaps, you put your shoe on and walk

out of the office. Later that day it will start hurting and will

smart for about two weeks while the wart dies off. (Yes it will

smart badly enough to make you limp noticeably, but the results

are worth the trouble. Plantars can be a real longterm pain in

the neck...errr I mean foot...otherwise.) Then it will

be good as new. Very simple, non-invasive, drug-free procedure,

and it works like a charm. Try to find a doctor who has one of the

cryo-guns connected to a compressed nitrogen tank. If you have

a doc who wants to apply it by dipping a Q-Tip swab into a flask

of liquid nitrogen, go find a different doctor because he doesn't

really know how to use cryosurgery properly. The liquid on the

Q-Tip drips and runs and can't be controlled as well. The result

is they damage too much healthy tissue around the wart and

cause you unecessary pain and slower healing. The cryo-gun

is solid state and directs the dry coldness like a laser beam

right down the wart root all the way to the bone if necessary.

It is far superior and less painful. Also avoid doctors who

want to treat the wart by trimming it periodically or dabbing

the surface with acids like Compound-W. Those techniques

will NEVER get rid of it entirely and you will likely have the

wart forever. Plantar warts root too deep for those surface

treatments. They just keep growing back. This latter type

of doctor just wants to keep you coming back like his

personal money tree once every couple months for retreatment.

Properly done cryo-surgery works with one single, low-cost

treatment in the doctor's regular office, takes only a few

minutes, and the wart is gone forever.

Just a note on the warts... usually the active organism (Human Papilloma)

that causes them has a reproductive cycle of 21 days, so putting one drop of

tea trea essential oil on them per day for 21 days will make them go away.

Many other oils usually work too, such as cinnamin or thuja, or willow bark,

but I've the best success with tea tree. If the warts go away before day 21

keep doing the drops just to make sure you've got the entire cycle so they

don't come back.

Thanks, . I'll go through the archives. The discussion must

have been while I was on vacation.

Aren't plantar warts like callouses? These are small, raised

bumps. Hard. One looks a little like a skin tag.

I'll do some digging and reading today. I forgot about the duct

tape! I am leaning toward antivirals or something else to treat the

actual virus and not the exterior wart.

Plantar just means that they're on the bottom of the foot. Because of the

pressure of standing and walking the warts get pressed into the foot somewhat.

I eliminated my warts, including one on the bottom of my foot, with

Virastop enzyme and olive leaf extract.

My father used vitamin E oil at the recommendation of his podiatrist,

and that worked for him.

-We did cryo on my daughter numerous times. And they either don't go

away or they come back later. It is expensive and painful, and

leaves scars. She cried each time we went...I ended up putting her

on a high dose of zinc/mag and Yeast Aid which has antivirals in

it...then they all disappeared on their own within 4 weeks.

Maybe the cryo works great for many people, so I am not downing on

this suggestion, just letting you know that it does not work for

everyone, and it is painful to some people. I have had it done

myself, and it burns like the dickens! And no it didn't work on me

either. Some of us may be more resistant to that virus depending on

our health burdens. HSV lives in the body though, and will likely

rear it's ugly head later on with cryo. This is only our

experience.. and not meant to hurt anyones feelings.

___,,,^.~.^,,,___ That's a surprise to hear. It worked great for me.

I had two huge ones, one on each sole, that rooted all the way down

to the bone. It was quite cheap, eighty bucks per foot, and only

one 90-sec treatment per wart was all that was needed. The procedure

didn't hurt at all. Sure it hurt like the dickens for the next two weeks,

but that's OK. Never left a scar, not that I'm sure I know why anybody

would be worried about scars on the soles of their feet (??? laughing).

Been 25 years now, never came back. Everybody is unique! :~)

Best wishes on whatever method you choose. ---Meow.

I am glad it worked for you. The scar is on my daughter's hand, but

a foot would not have been a biggy. She had about three plantars on

each foot, and she had warts on her hands, and fingers. The ped

tried a few weeks of freezing with no results, and then sent us to

the dermatologist. So for her it was a lot of freezing and quite

painful.

Only one treatment? That is great that it worked so well for you. We

went for multiple treatments and they planned to continue this for

months until gone. But it was not really doing much other than

upsetting my child and making me broke.

We are all different for sure. I guess it really depends on your

immune system and how well it can fight it off. It's good to know

its just us though, not the treatment!

The Duct tape works for us! When we take it off we rub with pumice stone

then reapply duct dape till the wart is gone! (:

My son got a wart on his toe last summer.

I rubbed the inside of a banana peel all over the wart and then covered it

with duct tape. I would keep reapplying this each time the duct tape came off,

and in a week, the wart was gone!

I have scars from warts (on two of my fingers) that were either burnt or frozen

off when I was a child(don't remember which eventually ended up working). I

recall there being pain involved. I'm a wimp when it comes to pain and to

doctor's offices.

___,,,^.~.^,,,___ Ouch no!! I wouldn't want repeated cryo treatments

either. I would've quit too!! I can see where that would get expensive

and unduly painful. It's funny you mention multiple

warts on the hands. Were they the classic " cauliflower " warts?

When I was about ten years old (early 1960's), they started popping

up all over my hands and fingers. I had as many as a dozen on each

hand at one time. In those days, we basically did nothing except

try some old-style Compound-W on a couple of them with no results.

Never saw a doctor. Then after about three years, they all simultaneously

started getting soft and shrinking all on their own. Within a few

weeks time they had all faded away to nothing. Never had another

one since. Bizarre. Don't know why. Best of luck! ---Cat
