Plantar Warts--The Long Goodbye
Wednesday, October 12, 2011 at 7:29AM Workin' Wednesday
If you have a plantar wart on the bottom of your foot you are likely wishing to part company with it. If you are suffering any pain from this unwelcome visitor, please make an appointment with your podiatrist to have it removed immediately.
Now, if you are bent on trying to evict a plantar wart that is not painful, but a nuisance, by trying various over-the-counter remedies commonly found at grocery or drugstores...let me save you some money!
Head to your nearest junk drawer, toolbox or garage and pull out your ever-useful duct tape! Cut a piece large enough to cover the wart completely, and repeat this every 2-3 days until the wart has vacated the premisis.
We all want instant results, but I can tell you that the store bought remedies require the same diligence and time as the duct tape...but the duct tape is drastically cheaper, less messy, will not burn off any skin and easier to apply at regular intervals. This all lends to greater success in evicting the plantar wart.
It may very well take a couple of months to get rid of the wart, but I have seen results in as little as 3 weeks. So, prepare yourself for the long goodbye, but know that you will eventually be victorious and thrift all at the same time.
Also, plantar warts like to multiply so it is a good idea to get that duct tape on right away. There are times when a plantar wart will rampantly multiply and this situation also calls for an immediate appointment with the podiatrist.
Now where is that duct tape....:
Wishing you wart free, happy feet!
