There are many different types of removal methods for the Plantar warts which show up on the soles of the feet of the infected person. Plantar warts are always on the bottoms of the feet, and can become infected if not treated.

Many people like to use their own home remedies rather then going to the professional local doctor and have them removed because they don’t want to have to pay the steep prices most doctors charge for things like wart removal. There are a number of methods that can be found on the Internet which can help you in the removal of warts, like for instance one method is the duct tape method in which you can grab a piece of duct tape, and secure it over the wart and leave it there for a few days. After that you should take off the duct tape wash the wart and re-apply the duct tape to the wart, and after a few weeks of this treatment the wart should start to disappear.

Many people like to go to the doctor as well, because they want to make sure the warts have been taken care off. Doctors use a method called cryosurgery for the removal of plantar warts just like they would for the removal of most all other types of warts. In this process the doctor would have the patient lay on a medical bed, and prop his/her feet up so they could get a good look at the plantar warts. There is no anesthesia needed for the procedure used to remove the warts, because the process uses liquid nitrogen to remove the wart which is extremely cold, and there is really no pain to be had in the procedure. There is a very cold pressure feeling but that goes away very fast, and the procedure should only take a few minutes unless you have a big number of warts they have to go through.

Although many doctors use the cryosurgery method another method they use is called Salic Acid, this is the method in which instead of freezing the warts off the doctor actually uses a acid and burns the wart off instead. This method is actually painful the burning sensation lasts throughout the procedure, and its quite uncomfortable for the patient having the procedure done. I would not recommend this method, but if you have tried everything else and the warts still persist then this might be your only option. The plantar warts are generally easy to have taken care of, and sometimes the person that is infected with the warts won’t even know they have them until they graze across there feet with there hand or bath them, and actually feel the warts, because the warts are relatively painless.
