   This is going to sound weird, but when I was a kid, my dad would rub a potato on the wart on his foot and over time it fell off. I don’t remember how many days/weeks it took or if that was what really worked, I just remember him using a cut potato to rub on his foot. I am also not sure if it was a planters wart or some other type of wart.

   I had warts removed many years ago by my doctor, he froze them, yeah, it stung but worked.

   they have these stick on things you get at the store. kinda looks like a round band aid. you put them on the warts for 48 hrs and then put a new one. do this for 12 weeks i think. the liquid kind worked for me personally. you just have to be persistent with whatever method and dont stop till its gone.

   if you really want to get rid of 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 must use herbal treatment because you can not always live 100% healthy…!!!

   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 very fast and still works for me because I do not have wart outbreaks anymore!

   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=221781

   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!

   I had 3 plantar warts too. I know, they’re SUPER though to get rid of. The Compound W wart pads seemed to help a lot. I know, the Dr. Sholls stuff does NOT work. And yes, the dukt tape does work.

   Hope I helped!
