A 6-yr old. w/ a plantar wart
by: Sue on Mon, Jan 28 2008

My 6 yr. old daughter came to me with a pain on the bottom of her foot. I took her to her pediatrician and she told us it was a wart and to use the duct tape method. This would be much more gentle than any other methods. I had never heard of this. But all you do is stick a big piece of duct tape over the wart (a big piece so it doesn’t come off) and leave it on there. If it comes off, put a new piece on ASAP. Every few days, cut off some of the dead stuff. It took about 6 weeks to finally go away, but it worked without chemicals or painful freezing.
