How Can A Painful Plantar Wart On The Left Foot Be Treated?
I have a painful verruca on my left foot that has been making me limp as I can’t put weight on the leg. I’ve been using bazuka and have to peel it off each night as the instructions say. I did this tonight and loads of puss came out. I then used an emery board and it had gone down a lot but I don’t know if I should be worried due to the puss? Also wondering what I can do about the pain as ibuprofen don’t work. Thanks, Laura

Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service. I read your query and here is my advice.
If it is infected you may use an antibiotic ointment over it and also salicylic acid to exfoliate it.
If it doesn't improve you should use oral antibiotics.
Hope I have answered the question.
