Plantar Wart Removal Made Easy

Plantar wart removal can be tough. In fact, of all the varieties of warts you can get, these are probably the toughest. Plantar warts form on the soles of your feet and warts in general form on the upper layer of your skin. Since the skin on the soles of your feet is so hard, these types of warts are often quite big, hard and tough to get rid of. It's also very uncomfortable with this skin growth under your feet and most people complain that it feels like they are constantly stepping on a pebble.

While warts pose no real health threat, it's always a good idea to get rid of them since they are highly contagious and the HPV virus can easily spread to other parts of your body. You can also spread it to other people and being the carrier of this virus is never nice.

For plantar wart removal you have several options. The most obvious one is to get it cut out but this can be very painful and leave you unable to walk properly for a week or two. Doctors don't really want to cut warts anymore since the virus can easily return if the cut wasn't deep enough and even the smallest piece of wart left behind can quickly star growing again.

Cryotherapy is also very popular and there's a whole host of over the counter products that can freeze the wart. This therapy is also available at your local GP, but doctors use a much more potent form of cryotehrapy and they often give you a local anesthetic for it. This can be a one-off treatment and get rid of plantar warts immediately.

Getting it done by a doctor can be expensive though. This is why the latest treatment is so popular. Salicylic acid is safe, yet effective at killing warts. You can buy it in most drug stores and you can use it at home. It usually works quite slowly and gradually kills the virus. It is very inexpensive though, it leaves no scarring and it's completely pain free.
