When I was in high school I developed a plantar wart on the ball of my foot, it constantly bothered me and my doctor gave me a local and surgically removed it. VERY PAINFUL. I was shocked when not long after a good portion of my foot was covered with tiny plantar warts (probably 50-100). My doctor could do nothing as such a large part of my foot was now covered, he said possible skin graft. I was mortified! I saw probably 3 other doctors and podiatrists.

I tried the potato trick, and various others to no avail. Then I agreed with my mother to see one final podiatrist! He gave me some formaldehyde (yes the stuff they preserve dead things in) and I rubbed it on the area several times a day with a q-tip then I went to see him weekly for about 4 weeks and he literally scraped them off with a scalpel. It actually tickled me as all the skin was dead. Each time I left my foot was covered with tiny holes where the warts were removed (WITHOUT PAIN), and I have been wart free for about 25 years. The only scar I have is from the original surgery. My advice is to keep trying, don’t give up - all solutions aren’t painful!
