message: Wow, that is a real nice hole in the foot. I had a planters wart that I got this really cool stuff that took the skin off layer by layer. I too had gone at it with plyers and a pair a toe-nail clippers. I would cut it off, then wait, then it would grow back. Once, I decided to cut the callus on my foot and cut into the meat of the ball of my foot. That was great fun, it hurt for a month.

message: Holy fuck. All you have to do is to tape a piece of duct tape on the sucker, remove after a week, then pumice stone it. Do this for a max of 2 months and the sucker should die. Why go through all this pain when you can utilize the force of duct tape? Seriously. They do this in the military and it works.

message: Well, that looks better than what mine looked like.
I had a plantar's wart that I had on my heel that was about 1/3 of my heel. I went through about 30 freezing treatments that didn't work. Salic acid treatements too. Went to a dermatologist had two cancer treatments (as plantar's warts are actually tumours). Then I was sent to one of the top dermatologist. After five laser surgery's and topic applications of chemicals and liquid extracted from beetles, finally it was gone (Five years after I first noticed it). It screwed up my left leg and how I walk. Shows what 5 years of limping will do.
BTW, I wish I had taken pictures because they were better than your brother's.

message: I had two plantar's warts, and I removed then with salic acid and razors. Just core the sucker out, apply tons of salic acid, cover it, and do it over and over and over, until you reach the root of the wart - you'll see it, it's either a little hole or a depressed ring underneath the hard tissue - and wait. Shouldn't take more than a month.

message: One of my two plantar warts was real bad. At first it was just a white bump, on the outside of my big right toe,that was extremely tender,then it grew and finally got 3 black dots. I used wart liquid for a while then just forgot about it because it didnt seem to be working. eventually i just peeled it off and it hurt like a bitch when i had to rip the top layer of skin to actually get to the warts. The damn warts came back but there were more. It was like a colonie of plantar warts. Then in school someone stepped on my toe and just ripped hte whole clump of warts off. So thanks to someone, i was pain free after that day.

message: I had 5 warts on my one foot for 2 years. I tried everything...and was ready to amputate!..i was soooo fed up...and bored with talking about them, looking at them, obsessing about them ..then i tried the duct tape for 4 months..along with wash wash wash everynight with sulphur soap ( http://www.sulfursoap.com/)...and i even put lots of talcum powder in my shoes because i read somewhere that the fungus doesnt like dry feet, and my god, they slowly disappeared! I dont what finally did it..i sure was tenacious...i think it was the soap.

message: Nasty little sumbitches; plantar warts, that is. I had two or three in different places on my left foot for several years in my teens, two that came and went (and finally never came back, thankfully) and two that really didn't want to bugger off. Those last two were treated with one of the most painful methods I can think of (well, aside from the aforementioned Mr. Do-it-yourself method this dude tried)- cryosurgery, i.e. controlled spray of liquid nitrogen on the warts and surrounding tissue. Weekly. For almost three years, until finally the little crappers shoved off. I often imagined doing something like what this guy tried after all the grief that the warts caused me, but thankfully I managed to ride it out. God forbid liquid N2 goes out of style!

message: I have a four year old son who had a wart right on the crease of the big toe and I had him soak his foot in vinager and then I would clean it with peroxiod and then I took some clear fingernail polish and coated the wart two times and let it dry really good then I put a bandaid on it and then I wrapped duck tape around it and I did this every day for a week when I checked it and seen that the black core was ready to come out and I took a needle and pulled out the nasty thing and he has not had a problem since. I would suggest this to anyone having a problem with planters warts.

message: Message for Qum Quat. I too was like you and believed in the Duct tape method. My foot then became infected within 24 hours. I tried to remove the infection by soaking my foot in a saline solution. This worked somewhat but then the infection overtook my body and went to my kidneys. I quickly became septic, was rushed to the hospital where I stayed for almost a month. I managed to hold onto my kidneys but not my job as after I was released from the hospital, there was another two months of recovery. The punchline is, that 4 months after this ordeal, the Plantars wart is back. Please do not use duct tape.

message: I had three plantar warts on the pad of my left foot. One was small, the others were about 3/8"-1/2" and had been hanging around for about twelve years. Anyhow I got sick of them as they sometimes hurt when I walked. At a routine skin cancer checkup the doc said "Yep, Plantar Warts". Anyhow I read about the DUCT TAPE method. So I cut a piece of Scotch 3M Pressure Sensitive tape about 2 1/2" and applied it strategically. After the first week I had two large inverted volcanoes which were perhaps 1/4" deep. As per instructions -after soaking in the bath- I used a pumice stone to gently debride the bits of white skin that protruded above the normal flesh level. No blood, no pain. Anyway I'm up to week 5 and all have almost healed. At this rate in about a fortnight there will be no sign at all! Since I started wearing a sock at night keeping the duct tape in situ has been no problem- needing changing only weekly. This has been a very simple process requiring minimal intervention on my part. (I don't understand how infection could occur unless perhaps there was already an infection or the warts were not cleaned adequately before applying the tape).
