Kill Open Plantar Warts?

Question

They won't @#!#%#%& die!!!

I've had them for a over a year and many times my doctor has done the beetle acid, opened them, very painfully I might add and fluororacil 5% or whatever, I started with ten and now I have two stubborn ones left that just won't die!!!

This last time we did the acid I've been doing the fluoroacil for a month and a half straight; I'm not letting them close--despite what the doctor said about it not working this time. The "root" is exposed and looks like cauliflower. I'm at my wits end. Seriously. I can't take it anymore. I've started to scrape at them with a callous remover and try to pick loose ends off with tweezers but they're so stuck. And everytime I scrape until I can no longer scrape and then apply the fluoracil, they seem to just grow back a little.

One is the size of a nickle and the other is tiny. The "effective" Fluoracil just doesn't seem to be killing them. Did they develop an immunity or something? Help. Help. Help

Duct tape, aloe vera, apple cider vinegar and the white stuff in the dandelion stem all work great. Potato juice and crushed aspirin mixed with castor oil and vinegar are also said to work well.

So far, what has work the best for me and most other people I've heard of is duct tape. Apparently, its usefulness in curing plantar warts was even validated by a medical journal. You just keep a piece on the wart until the duct tape falls off, then you just replace it with another piece. Repeat until they're gone.

It's good to scrub at them with moderate vigor, just to get the first layer of dead skin off so that magic glue can do it's stuff to the wart. But don't pick at it like crazy and keep it open and bleed it and stuff. I know from experience, that doesn't really help. All that came of all that picking and pain, for me, was warts on my fingers for touching them too much.

I think the most important thing is to be patient and just keep applying your chosen treatment consistently, even if it takes awhile for results to show. The average healing time is about 2 weeks, plus everyone's different. It might take a day or a month. But hey, a month until they're gone is better than a lifetime with them!

I hope this helps! Good luck!

My kid had one a while back like that.  It hasn't come back since I did what I did.

Go to WalMart and in the bandaid aisle (should be) and look for little bandaid like wart remedies.  Make sure to keep one on for at least 48 hours straight (as much as possible that is!).  I think it's supposed to be changed twice a day or something like that.  Just make sure to keep a spare box around just in case it is stubborn and takes more than a couple of days (I don't remember how many are in a box).

I don't remember the brand name (not sure if it was WalMart's brand either).  But it did definitely work for him.

I actually read once that opening the up allows them to spread. How old are u by the way? A lot of young people get them and they almost always go away by the age 20 (don't know why, they just do). I had them as a teen. I used to wrap mine in duct tape every night. Good luck with killing them, as you can't. It's a virus and sorry to day but it'll be with you forever, i guess they just turn dormant or soemthing by the time u hit age twenty. But, I've read that the virus stays in your system/skin/whatever forever. It's not technically a living organism so it can't die.

Well, good luck!
