General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

There are options to treat plantar warts by yourself and this includes.

Peeling medicine (salicylic acid) wart removal products are available as a patch or liquid. Usually, you're instructed to wash the site, soak it for up to 20 minutes, gently remove dead tissue with a pumice stone or emery board, and apply the solution or patch. Patches are usually changed every 48 hours. Liquid applications are generally used twice a day. Treatment might take weeks.

Duct tape can be used to treat plantar warts. Please use this by covering the wart with silver duct tape for six days, soaking the wart in water, gently removing dead tissue with a pumice stone or emery board, and then leaving the wart exposed for about 12 hours. You repeat the process until the wart is gone.
