What should I do about a big wart on my foot after several nitrogen treatments from the doctors didn't work?

It’s on the bottom of my foot and hurts a lot. I’ve tried salicylic acid on it and when that didn’t work I went to my doctor who helped scrape it down and then did the liquid nitrogen treatment for me several times. It did absolutely nothing to it, didn’t get smaller or anything. I’m not too sure but it may have gotten bigger although that might be my imagination. I am to go back in two weeks again for another treatment, but it’s been there for so long and I have other foot problems so this additional problem is becoming very frustrating and problematic for me. I was wondering if there are other sort of things I could try or other treatments I could look for.

Answer #1

In all seriousness, take a small bit of banana peel (the same size as the wart), and use some duct tape to tape it over the wart, the side from next to the banana by your skin. Leave it there for several days, then take it off and see if it is any better.

Answer #2

cut your foot off lol jk gey some wart away

Answer #3

My doctor confirmed the duct tape method does work for some people. You should also look into apple cider vinegar. A lot of people swear by it.

Answer #4

Actually though, you don’t need the banana. Just cover it with duct tape for a few weeks.

Answer #5

i did the banana thing for about a year and it didn’t work, i used a thing called salactol and that worked really well!

Answer #6

the best way to remove a wart is not to cut it off- it will most likely grow back. also if you go to the dermatologist that is expensive. the best way to remove warts is to use garlic. the acid burns the wart off for good and it doesnt even hurt– inless you mess up and make the piece of garlic bigger than your wart.

Answer #7

if it is a re occuring thing, get it cut out, tat way the root is cut out and no spores are released

Answer #8

i disagree with that, i had 2 waets one on my thumb and the other on my pointer finger, and i used to chew at it adn rip them from my finger with my teeth, neither have come back, this is over 5 yrs agoan when i did that…..

Answer #9

When you say cut it out, did you mean surgically?

Answer #10

Slice a piece of potato and duct tape it over your wart. Change it, but always have one on for about a week

Answer #11

Well ummm thought it was implied but YES Surgically removed lol because its hyginic…..
