A planter’s wart is one on the foot, right? I had one before and it really sucked but eventually it did come off. I was careful when going into the shower and i washed it well. Also right after the shower I put on a planter’s wart bandage made to get rid of them. Warts are contagious but they wont stay there forever. Just be careful and take care of it and it will go away eventaully

Some people say wishing them away is the best treatment. Have you seen your doctor, dermatologist, or podiatrist?

Well, planters warts are warts you get from eatting the peanut guy….but seriously, it is called a "seed wart" because as you can see it has little seeds in it which can spread..it is called planters because they are on your foot…any way, you could try soaking it in hot salt water and scrubbing it with a foot scrubber, along with using the acid treatments, and if you really want too, try to dig out most of it…(i had one on my finger and i used acid, it killed the skin, then i took a knife and just cut it off) if none of that works, or u just feel unsafe bout it, see a doctor.

I had one before. Go to a podiatrist and he will touch it with a needle and will vaperize it. There are medications you can get for plantar warts at a pharmacy without a perspection. I used one of them before and I was able to pull the whole wart out eventually. It was strange because I had a hole in the bottom of my foot minus the pain.

Digging to find the roots is very unsafe, you need to stop that treatment. They sell a product to remove them, it’s a bandaid with medicine on the gauze, you center it over your wart, make sure the other skin isn’t getting treatment, cuz it will burn that skin right off. (did it, don’t ask)Leave on for a few days, without getting it wet. Remove, you can tell by looking at it, when is the right time to take the bandaid off. You’ll be left with a crater, the rootball will be gone, and it will hurt, and you’ll wish the wart was back, until it heals. Any drug store has this remover, under 10bucks.

Our family swears by this homemade cure that my aunt learned when she was in Africa years and years ago. You take a lemon and cut it up. Put the rind in a jar of vinegar and let it sit for a night or two. Then take one of the pieces of lemon peel and tape it to where you have the wart and leave it on overnight. Use it every night until the wart falls out. It might sting because of the acid in the lemon, but believe me, it works really well!
