[quote=Anonymous]My 6yo has three plantar warts on the bottom of one of her big toes. Her ped said we could try an OTC from CVS or they could freeze them in office or we could wait it out as they sometimes go away. They are not causing pain but have created a callus of sorts. She said that OTC methods or using duct tape as a home remedy require daily diligence for a few months. My concern is as we enter summer camp season that it will be impossible to keep a bandaid with medical solution or a piece of duct tape adhered to the very bottom of her toe during the summer. Freezing seems like a good option though I've read mixed online reviews that it can be painful for kids and that they often return. The doctor said we'd just have to baby the foot for a week or so after freezing. Waiting it out seems lazy but who knows. Anyone BTDT with kids? Curious what worked for you. [/quote]
