Have you used Dr. Scholl's Plantar Wart treatment discs?
I have a tiny plantar wart on the bottom of my foot (I’m pretty sure it’s what’s considered as the ball of my foot, but I’ve never been sure exactly which part that is), so I picked up a box of Dr. Scholl’s to treat it. There are tiny medicated discs that you put on and cover with a round sticky pad, then leave it on there for up to 48 hours. If anyone has ever used this, can you tell me what it’s supposed to look like if it’s working? Since the wart is kind of…inverted itself, it’s hard to tell if it’s getting any better. Should it be turning white and getting hard? Is it going to eventually fall off? Should I be doing anything else to make this stuff work faster?
Thanks, and hold your wart jokes to yourself! If you want to see something gross, look at the Google images for these things, yuck! Mine is nothing like those, which is why I was hoping someone here would have had a situation similar to mine.

Over the counter and home remedies more often than not do not work. You need to see a doctor or podiatrist, a doctor that specializes in the care of the feet. Plantar warts can become very painful. Warts are caused by a virus and you need to treat the virus to get rid of the wart. Your shoes may also need to be treated to get rid of the virus there. See a doctor, warts can be spread to other parts of the body and to other people. Until you can see a doctor there are a few rules to follow.
1) Do not let anyone wear your shoes and do not wear anyone else’s.
2) Do not go barefoot in public places like shower room and swimming pools.
3) Do not pick at the wart, this can cause it to spread to your hands or other places on your body.
4) In a spray bottle mix a solution of half water and half bleach. Spray your shower/tub after to use it to prevent spread the virus to your family.
See a doctor as soon as possible. Good luck.
yes! I had used but nothing! there was no success…
if you really want to remove plantar warts forever then you should know that you can remove warts by surgery, freezing, laser, acid or with cream but warts can reappear again and again because warts appears when your immune system is weak! so you must build up your immune system because your body can get rid of warts by itself if your immune system will be strong! so eat more healthy food, more vitamins and more sport activities!
(No smoking, no beer/ale, no booze, no drugs, no junk food, no fast food garbage, no sugary sweet soda’s. Get on a good, balanced, healthy diet including plenty of boiled or steamed vegetables. Drink P L E N T Y O F W A T E R , fruit juices & fat free milk. Snack on lots of RAW fruit & veggies. Get up one hour early every morning & take a BRISK 30 minute walk – then – do the same thing again in the evening after dinner. Make sure you eat a good, balanced breakfast daily. You get your energy for the day from your breakfast meal. Get 8 hours sleep each night. Flip your mattress over so it will level out to give you a good night’s rest. Slack off too much coffee & tea.)
HPV is the virus that causes warts. And HPV virus has many strains. In your case you have HPV virus strain number 2. People can be infected with HPV and never show any symptoms. Others will develop warts. These warts can stay the same size, grow, or go away on their own. It depends on the infected person’s immune system. A healthy immune system means your body may be able to suppress the virus and not show symptoms.
also you should use some herbal treatment!
in that case Wartrol is really good (probably the best) product that gets rid of warts comparatively fast and makes you feel more confident knowing that they wont reappear again! it says that it is designed for Genital Warts but
it does not matter because warts are warts and wartrol works by stimulating your immune system to fight the HPV virus that causes the warts. of course it is better if you use full course (5 months – if I remember correctly).
It worked and still works for me!
I do not know if any pharmacies carry Wartrol but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.wartrol.com/?aid=749165
The advantage of Wartrol over other natural treatments for warts is that, since it is taken orally, it can also act on invisible warts that can’t be treated by other creams and natural remedies.
good luck!
