Plantar Wart Removal – Don’t Get Stung By Fake Claims

Unsightly, irritating, painful, plantar warts are an annoyance and a bother. It is little wonder that many people will go to great lengths to try and find a plantar wart removal system that works.

But do they work? Are the promises realistic?

To make that decision, you will need some additional information.

First of all, is it a plantar wart? Plantar warts are found exclusively on the soles of the feet, and while they resemble corns and other foot problems, there are specific physical indications that set them apart.

Real plantar warts are caused by a viral infection. When certain strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV) get under the skin of the foot, they can cause a surface tumor called a plantar wart.

Unlike other problems caused by HPV, these tumors are universally benign and are not life threatening. But they can be painful, and difficult to remove.

Step one is to make sure that it is a plantar wart by seeing a medical professional. No matter how effect a plantar wart removal technique may or may not be, it won’t help much if you are dealing with another problem altogether.

When evaluating a treatment option, remember the cardinal rule of the market place. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Clinical tests have not found any plantar wart treatment to be 100% effective at plantar wart removal. The HPV virus which is at the root of the problem is tough to treat.

In the case of plantar warts, doing nothing may be the better choice. In most healthy people, the normal action of the immune system will deal with the wart in time. It may take a few weeks or even months, but eventually the body will win out and the wart will be gone.

Studies indicate the most of the home remedies that have proven effective work by speeding up the this process. For instance, the much talked about duct tape cure.

For this treatment, you cover the plantar wart with duct tape for 6 days, after which you soak it in hot water and then rub it down with a pumice stone. Repeat for several weeks.

The duct tape and hot water act as irritants, which may cause the immune system to expend additional resources at the source irritation.

There is some doubt whether this procedure speeds up the process significantly.

Medical professionals may advise surgical options for plantar wart removal. They have as high a success rate as most other techniques, but can be painful and expensive.

Chemical treatments can work, but beware of miracle cures. A chemical treatment must not only dissolve the tumor, but counteract the HPV that may remain behind. Otherwise, a new plantar wart will quickly appear.

Check the sources of anyone who promises quick and permanent plantar wart removal. You may just be paying good money for something that does little to help what your body is doing already.

The Planter Wart Removal Backstory

Hey, Tina Campbell Here.  Just thought I would go a little deeper into how I ended up discovering what I believe is the world’s best (and painless) planter wart removal treatment.  Now I have to confess its not pretty, and it is a little embarrassing.  But I figured no one would believe me unless I told my story and how I came about making my discovery.
 
Now this all started way back around the year 2002/2003 when I was spending a lot of time at the university swimming pool.  I was taking swimming lessons and I believe that I caught my first planter wart while in the public shower.  Now It must have only been a month or so later when I went to have a physical and I first saw that a big ugly planter wart had formed on the very center of the heel of my foot.  It is from here on that I soon learned far more about planter wart removal then I ever wanted to know.
 
The first recommendation I received was to go to the local drug store and buy an acyclic acid applicator.  The instructions were simple; place a few drops of this pink acid juice onto the wart and re-apply twice a day.  I tried this method for a few months with absolutely no results at all.  Once the bottle ran out, I went out to the drug store and got another product.  This one was Dr. Scholl’s ‘acid patch’ and it was just like a band-aide that has powerful acid on it.  I should mention that these band-aids did in fact destroy the warts completely.  However as soon as I though the wart was gone (I would see dark roots spew out of the wart) they would return a few days later, bigger and rougher then the time before.  The worst part was that they started spreading over to other areas of my feet.
 
At this point I had resorted to regularly cutting out my warts.  I even made a video on YouTube, but you wouldn’t even want to see it.  Despite this they would return a few days later.  I tried the incense method, where you take a burning incense stick and apply it to the wart…. take it from me, its really painful and it doesn’t work.  By now my warts were getting to be the size of pennies and they were getting very uncomfortable to walk on.
 
At this point I had started doing research online for planter wart removal methods.  It seemed that every web site on the subject was touting duct tape as the cure all for the little critters.  The argument seemed convincing and I figured I would try it.  By now I had a wart on my finger tip, and I spent the entire summer of 2004 with duct tape on my feet and hands.  It was so embarrassing to have people ask me, "hey Tina, why do you have bits of silver on your hands and feet?".  My lack of success with the duct tape treatment forced me to contact my doctor once again.
 
The first treatment my doctor recommended was the freezing.  Now this was very very painful.  He said that the best way was to hold the liquid nitrogen applicator against the planter wart for about 30, long and very uncomfortable seconds.  One by one, each of the warts would get frozen. And week after week I would return to his office, to have the warts frozen again.  It must have been about 8 to 10 weeks before I finally gave up on the freezing, and I started the laser treatment.  This one was rather expensive, and I would never wish this upon anyone.  After that I tried using a very high powered ‘behind the counter’ acid on the warts, but after one failed attempt I used my better judgement and moved on.
 
Next I started testing different natural remedies and some lesser known treatments.  I went to see a natural-pathic doctor who advised me to try taking a daily dose of a substance that tasted much like pine needle juice.  I tried rubbing tea tree oil, aloe vera, garlic, and banana peels.  And while none of these planter wart removal treatments were getting any results, I was getting closer to my big discovery.
 
I read on an Internet forum a number of planter wart removal ideas that set me in the right direction.  These planter wart removal treatments were very simple.  Infact my success in removing all my nasty planter warts came down to three simple remedies.  And to say that these treatments turned my life around, is a complete understatement.  From the time that I started using these idea’s, my warts starting to shrink.  After a week I could see the roots appear and the warts turned a dark blue.  By the second week the warts were crumbling away and a few short days later the warts were gone and had been replaced with fresh pink skin.. NO SCARS whatsoever.
 
Now that I have discovered this secret, I feel its my duty to share them with you.  If you are reading this now, then you probably owe it to yourself to follow these simple treatments.  As I share them with you, I give you permission to use them with my blessing.

Tina
