How To Get Rid Of A Planter Wart?

One day they simply and suddenly show up without any notice. The pain from a Planter Wart generally becomes more intense with every step you take and once the wart is fully developed, it can and usually does cause immense pain.

These warts are located on the bottom of the soles of your feet and on the heels. They can sometimes go away on their own but you may have to bear with them for several years or more before they do. If you allow the pain to continue, it may change the way that you walk from now on. If you don’t stand and walk properly, it can cause a misalignment in your spine which can trouble you in the future. Getting rid of a Planter Wart is not going to be something that can be accomplished over night, however with persistence, you can achieve the result that you require and get rid of it completely.

Planter’s Warts are noncancerous and thus not dangerous. But they certainly are painful! There are several options for people who suffer from these warts that you can try at home. Getting rid of a Planter Wart is not easy or expensive but it can take anywhere from one week to several months. Here are some cost effective solutions. And they work!

Solutions for Getting Rid of a Planter Wart

When you are tired of the pain and discomfort from a wart, consider one or several of these options.

Duct Tape
One of the easiest solutions is using Duct Tape. You will need to clean the area around the wart with soap and water, towel dry it and then place a piece of duct tape large enough to cover the wart only. Leave the duct tape on for seven days. Remove the duct tape and then soak the foot in warm water for around ten minutes. Using a pumice stone or a nail file, you can scrub the wart off. If the wart is still not removed, place another piece of duct tape on your foot for another seven days. Repeat this procedure until the wart is completely gone.

Salicylic Acid
Salicylic Acid is something that is popular to use when getting rid of a Planter Wart. It comes in liquid form or now you can even buy it as a patch. Soak the foot in warm water to loosen the skin. Once it is dry, use a pumice stone to take the dead skin off. Place the acid directly on the wart. The results will be slow but over a period of several weeks, you can remove the wart with this acid.

Liquid Vitamin A
Here is another way; buy a bottle of liquid capsule Vitamin A. Open the capsule and pour the liquid directly over the wart on your foot. Apply every day until the wart is gone.

Getting rid of a Planter Wart shouldn’t be difficult to achieve; it just takes time to do it. A doctor can also apply an acid that will freeze the wart off, but here again, there is no guarantee that it will work.
