Plantar wart WILL NOT GO AWAY

[slang23]

Ok I have had this wart on the ball on my foot for years.  There are a few and now they are large and thick.  It must have roots an inch deep at this point.  I should have just let it be but I have seen about 10 doctors for it (derms and dpms).

I have tried
-Doctor applied acids
-Dozens of doctor freezings
-many self freezings
-Candida antigen injections
-Duct tape for months
-Aldara
-50% salicyclic acid (self applied)


The only thing that seems to be left is bleomycin which my doctor is unwilling to do.  She said I could be left with a hole in my foot.  She says the only thing she can think of is trying many candida shots (we only did 1 injection a week for 5 weeks - the standard) or do a combination of salicyclic acid (to thin the skin) and aldara (which may have had problems with absorption before).  

Does ANYONE have an idea?  has anyone tried bleomycin>  I would like to avoid simple/homeopathic stuff --- I think this is WAY beyond that

Have you gotton rid of them? I've had my warts removed 6 times including by surgically being removed. I still have them... 13 of them on my big toe!

This is a very impressive, interesting thread.  I am equally surprised to see history going back to 2007 through 2016 on this.  I believe I inherited my plantar wart last May in Daytona Beach, FL running barefoot on the beach.  I went to a primary care physician in July and she advised it was a corn.  She encouraged me to use compound W and corn pads.  No luck since after different kinds of tape, moleskin, compound W, cornpads/cushions, tea tree oil, pumice stones, etc.  A week ago, I went to see a podiatrist because the pain is so excruciating that I can hardly walk on my foot.  He peformed a minor procedure where he removed the layer skin forming around it.  I was amazed at how hideous it is.  He asked me to come back in two weeks.  I am so desperate as well to remove this thing and move back into my normal level of productivity and sleep.  I have since decided to adopt some other alternative wellness methods.  Because of the committment on this page, I will definitely be in touch with the outcome.  In the meantime, I wanted to add a note share with the rest of you that yet another person is in the boat with you.  Til next time, Hang in there!

I decided to try Isopropyl 91% on these stubborn warts and it appears to be drying out and lifting the warts off my fingers. I just did a  search and found your post. I have been using it for 2 weeks now. Your original post was from 2011, how did your treatment go?

Warts are the HPV virus which is permanently in your blood stream once you catch it.  There are NO roots, but there is one main blood artery/vein deep down into the bloodstream inside the layers of epidermis and it  branches out into about two dozen little blood vessels (little black dots) and that grows into the wart.  I got rid of mine by using the chemical that is used for removing tatoo's and facial peels....TCA (Trichloroacetic acid).  It burns it off.  Yes, it is a strong acid, more powerful than Salicylic acid, but you will see results within two weeks.  I bought it on eBay for under $20.

I actually cut out my planters wart I first scraped off the calloused skin, it was on the heel of my foot by the way, then I pulled it out with tweezers it was like a squishy yellowish ball, I was wondering if the skin of my heel will seal up, right now I have a hole that is like a half centimeter in diameter
