Plantar Warts
by: Amy on Sun, Jul 22 2007

My daughter recently developed a plantar wart on the bottom of her foot. She is only 8 years old. She competes in ice skating and the wart became painful during skating. There are so many “home remedies” or “old wise tales about warts. This one I had never heard of. Some of the other mothers told me to place duck tape over the wart and leave it there. The only time we removed the tape was if it were to come off or begin to roll. Within a few days, I noticed that seeds of the wart were beginning to surface. Eventually, the entire wart was gone. Supposedly, the lack of oxygen to the wart is what caused it to die off. The seeds were actually surfacing, looking for oxygen. Due to my daughters age and her skating, I am pleased that we tried this before having the area burned off, leaving holes and scars.

I moved to Switzerland from the USA and after about 3 months I noticed I had a plantar wart on the ball of my foot. My daughter had one and the doctors back in the states froze it off. [more..]

I began with 2 plantar warts about a year ago. The podiatrist wanted to burn them off, but I would be off of my feet for 2 weeks. I told him I wanted to try the Dr. Scholl’s stickers first. The stickers only made it worse. [more..]
