Planter Wart on Foot ? Please Help

Believe it or not a homeopathic doc told me a bananna peel! I heard someone witness and tesify that it worked. If you google it you can find all sorts of post about it and everybody has their own way of doing it. Such using a fresher bananna seems to work better than one that is on its way to rotten. Some use the bananna peel and vinegar. Some use the bananna peel along with the duct tape but I think it is worth a go to try each one to see if it works-what do you have to lose? A wart?

My dad had the same problem. He had a huge plantar wart right on the bottom of his foot and went to doctors for a couple years. Someone told him to put a bit of potato peel on it, tape or bandaid it into place, and just change it out every time you take a shower. Worked faster than anything and it's gone! He hasn't seen a trace of it for over a year. Good luck!

I did the duct tape on mine, and it would start to pull away the wart. I guess the idea is to have it fully out over time with the tape, but mine was the size of a quarter (a mosaic one) and too deep and painful to keep going. Whenever I'd use the tape on smaller plantar warts, it would work--but then another new wart would appear somewhere else!

I did TWO surgeries, both regular and laser. Freezing them is a joke, and so are OTC treatments. As a last resort, I did a nasty chemical treatment from a podiatrist that burned like crazy, and it still didn't work. I've seen at least five podiatrists...

Guess what finally worked for me? Banana peel! I almost did not believe it. But I rubbed banana peel (the inside mushy part) on my warts AFTER debriding them. It took all of three days for them to be gone from my feet! I had them there for over 15 years! I read about it online and tried it. You must emory board or shave down the wart first, otherwise it won't get through the callous.

So is it a happy ending? Sort of. After they left my feet, I noticed tiny flat warts appearing on my hands. Still, those are easier to handle than the honkers I had on my feet. Those things were painful to walk on, and I didn't know it until they were gone. I can go for pedicures now!

Am not sure if my answer already went through, so am trying again as I wasn't logged into this site. Try using Curad Mediplast which is a pad that you cut-to-fit, then peel off the backing and is a corn, callus and wart remover and really works. I purchased it at a drug store. I used it on a finger wart once and it never returned. However I cut it like a bandaid and some of the skin came off also, so only cut as much as you need. It may take a few days--I don't remember how long it took, all I know is that I thought it was great.

I just posted the same question about a week ago. I've started it, but only for a few days. I've heard it can take weeks. Can't hurt to try it though! Good luck to you! I hope it works for both of us!

That is what our pediatrician told us to use on our son's planter wart. He had about 4 small ones and it totally worked. That was about two years ago. He now has one that is bigger. We have been having a hard time trying to get rid of it. I am trying wart remover and duct tape together. You have to make sure you leave it on as long as possible. All day if possible. It may take a month or so.

My doctor doesn't even treat warts anymore. "They will just go away on their own, then they don't come back." is what she told me. Well, I had a plantar wart on the very center of the ball of my foot. I used my PediEgg on it twice a day, and pared it down to next to nothing. I also soaked it in Listerine and in bleach water. Duct tape never stuck to my foot, I guess I have sweaty feet.
After I got really aggressive with the PediEgg it was only about 2 weeks before the thing actually fell off. It hasn't come back.
Good Luck!

I an trying the duct tape right now on my 7 yo son.
I am putting new tape on every night after his bath.
Do that & then pumice gently at the end of the week.
It apparently takes 2-6 weeks to work.
Good luck.

Google: Plantar wart removal + duct tape for more info.

Yep, duct tape works, I think it takes 8-12 weeks. My son-in-law learned of it when he was in med school. He used, I have not personally.

Good luck!

My daughter has a big plantars wart on the bottom of her foot, the pharmacist that I work for suggested that we get "mediplast" pads which have salicylic acid in them ( the active ingredient in Compund W and other wart removing compounds). You can buy them at any pharmacy, they may have to order them in but can do so easily. They are quite reasonably priced, as I recall an 4x6 pad was not much over $1.00. Trim the mediplast to the exact size of the wart ( it is going to destroy any good skin it touches so you don't want it a lot bigger than the wart). I am not sure how often she had to change them, but the directions are on the packaging. You can cover it tightly with duct tape...to help speed the process along.
Good luck!!!

I had to get mine actually cut out at the Dr's office. The burning off does not work. Good luck!!

My son's just disappeared in less than a week (from his hand, so not as tough as plantar) with the apple cider vinegar treatment. I didn't do the nail polish that the mom below mentions, but will remember that for future removals!

My daughter also had a slew of plantars on her foot, and while I've not always had luck with the OTC freeze-off remedies like Compound W and other brands, it worked wonders for her, despite one very deep huge one, and they were gone within 2 weeks.

Good luck! That is not fun!

Warts are caused by a virus. Usually you need a little help with your immune system.

Here is what a little girl did for hers.

Formula I vs. warts
My daughter was 6 years old and quite a swimmer. She broke out with about 6 planter-type warts around her big toe area. Soon these 'jumped' up to her knee. They were very unsightly and bothersome.
I thought maybe Formula I might enable her immune system to fight the wart-virus off. I gave her 2 Formula I a day for about 10 days. The warts just disappeared at about day 14.

We also have a cream called Herbal Blend Multipurpose Cream that people have said works great!

If you are interested you can go to www.nutritionandhealthnow.com and go to shopping and type in Formula I (i not one)

My daughter was dealing with this over the summer, and we had success with putting on lemon juice each night. I would soak a cotton ball or square in lemon juice and put it on the wart, covered with a bandaid. She had one on each foot. One wart was gone within 2 weeks; the other, bigger one took about 5 weeks, but neither one has come back. Good luck!

I had plantars warts for years when I was younger. I tried the duct tape, wart removers, freezing, everything I could think of, and they kept coming back. (from the time I was 8 until I was about 18) Then one year I got into a garlic dip kick, and they went away on their own!!! (I was eating about 1 clove's worth of garlic a week...) 5 years later and they haven't come back! You don't even have to eat garlic, just take a capsule. :)

Put a bandaid soaked in apple cider vinegar on the wart before going to bed and keep it on all night. During the day, cover the area with clear nail polish (or duct tape, I guess, but the nail polish sticks better and looks nicer). Before putting on the bandaid the next night, remove the nail polish by scraping and pulling at it with your fingernail (use a clean pin if your nails don't do the trick).

The vinegar kills the virus and soaks away the diseased skin, and the nail polish keeps air away so the germs suffocate; it also peels away the diseased tissue each day.
