Plantar Warts Suck
by: Brady on Tue, Jun 24 2008

I have had a plantar wart on the bottom of my right heel for about 8 1/2 months now. It really hurts to walk on, and I have changed my foot pattern. Instead of walking heel to toe, I walk outside inside. It puts pressure on my legs and back, and I think I got it from playing hockey. I put a lot of pressure on my feet, and it hurts to go down steps and put shoes on. I’ve had it frozen twice now and used Compound W and duct tape, but gave up on it because I couldn’t see any effect in sight. The wart goes out from my foot about 3/4 of an inch and is light yellow with black spots in the middle along a cut that I just got while swimming in the Atlantic Ocean. That hurt! The skin around it is callused, and rock solid. I don’t know what to do, but I guess I just have to fight it out until it falls off!
