I have a wart on the sole of my foot. I have read that the medicine from the doc is similar to aspirin.?

Question

Aspirin sometimes can disagree with people´s stomachs and the wart is in the part of the sole that has pressure points for the digestive system (if I am not mistaken). I have had a feeling of mild nausea, can my plantar wart or its treatment be causing that?

Answer 2

Dear Happy Feet-

Aspirin = ASA = acetylsalicylic acid

Wart medicine = salicylic acid

The two medicines share the word "salicyclic" BUT they act and are usually very differently.  Aspiring, taken by mouth, can and does irritate the stomach and can cause bleeding or prolong bleeding.  Salicylic acid is applied to the skin surface to treat warts.  If salicylic acid is taken internally (by mouth) it is deadly and can cause death.  The same is true of another "salicylate" called methyl salicylate which is "oil of wintergreen."  Taking aspirin will not help cure a wart and taking salicylic acid will not help relieve a headache.  Each is good when used properly and with caution, only as directed.

A wart on the sole of your foot....are you sure its not a verucca. Either way, try duct tape. Make sure your foot is dry and clean and apply the duct tape and when you shower and if it should come away then you need to reapply straight away on your foot after drying. Keep the duct tape on for up to a week. This should kill off the virus responsible. Hopefully it should work but if not you can then try lemon oil or garlic oil.

Not sure about the chinese pressure points and if that could be contributing to the nausea.

Salicylic acid is not the only treatment prescribed by GPs. Many nowadays offer to freeze the wart with liquid nitrogen but this may require one or two applications. You can also find this mode of treatment in pharmacies but it is quite pricey.

Best wishes.
