Go to a dermatologist.

Podiatrist

This is totally painless but takes time.

Cut one sticky side of a bandaid so there is a small circle in the middle by folding just that side and cutting a half circle at the fold line.

Place that on the skin so the healthy skin is protected and the wart alone pops through the hole

Rub this on the wart peeking through-

Cover what you rubbed on with the other sticky side of the bandaid - discard the cotton section.

- repeat every single day even for about a month after the wart falls off.

Works 100% of the time, zero pain. Will take about 10 weeks maybe.

Curing warts requires patience. There's no quick fix.

Totally not true. Get the cathardin painted on. It’s beetle juice or something and it’s painless. The doctor paints it on and then it creates a blister that pushes the wart out in 2 weeks. Worked for me and then has worked for both of my kids too.

We did this once for my son, and the daily OTC treatment for another wart. It took a long time, but it went away. We didn’t use duct tape, but I’ve heard a lot of stories about people who didn’t even apply medicine but just covered with duct tape for a couple of months, and it went away.

We've used over the counter compound w or the generic with good success. As a pp said, if you go this route, it takes patience. Our routine was to apply it at night before bed and cover it with a bandaid. You have to be consistent with it and do it every night and eventually the wart will just peel/fall off.

Freezing is basically torture! Never worked for me.

DC #1 had them for months and we did the sticky dots daily. It was tedious.

DC #2 got them and the pediatrician freezed off the wart at an in-office visit. Was gone in less than a week after the treatment.

Will always go the pediatrician route if they come back.

Painting the prescription dermatologic remedy (is it acid?) on every night for months worked on me when I was a kid. It was tedious but not painful and eventually the warts removed themselves from that and never came back. For my kid we used OTC stick-on patches (on the side of the bottom of the foot, which made the patches possible). Those detached the warts in about 6 weeks. Again, tedious, but only slightly painful and left only a slight raw area afterwards. They never came back.

Bottom of the feet makes it tough, but really freezing them is the only real answer.

Paint them with nail polish until they crumble to dust.

Let me know if you find anything that works. My son has been getting them shaved down for years. They never fully go away and I’ve been told that surgery is very painful, not guaranteed to work, and often not covered by insurance. Weirdly, it’s only one of my kids who gets them. The other doesn’t have them at all.

The nasty part of swimming bc of all the unavoidable bare feet on the wet pool deck...warts. I discovered some on my child's feet and have begun treatment.
