Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi Pam, Those are called plantar warts.

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. Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 ___,,,^.~.^,,,___ 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. ---The Cat RE: [ ] Warts on soles of feet: how to remove? > > Hi Pam, > Those are called plantar warts.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 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.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 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. Pam > <p>Hi all,<br> > <br> > My NT daughter has 3 small warts on the soles of her feet.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Plantar just means that they're on the bottom of the foot.

I don't see any in other areas. 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. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 -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. -- In , " ARCTIC CAT " <arcticat@...> wrote: > > ___,,,^.~.^,,,___ Look for a doctor that does " cryo-surgery.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 ___,,,^.~.^,,,___ 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. RE: [ ] Warts on soles of feet: how to > remove? > > > > > > > > > > Hi Pam, > > > Those are called plantar warts.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 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! > > > > <p>Hi all,<br> > > > > <br> > > > > My NT daughter has 3 small warts on the soles of her feet.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 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.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 ___,,,^.~.^,,,___ 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 [ ] Re: Warts on soles of feet: how to remove? > I am glad it worked for you.
