Time to get rid of a wart

Tags: warts, Dermatology, podiatrist, residual

I have what I believe is a planter's wart and have been treating it by soaking the foot, applying salysilic acid, and scraping away the residual tissue. I'd been doing this twice a week for two months. Is this the right way to eliminate a planter's wart and if so how long will it take?

A relative tried that and only ended up with sore feet and going to the podiatrist for removal as it was very stubborn. Sorry that I don't know any more details. Best of luck.

I could be incorrect but don't they make some "freeze off" products for warts?

I would try that.
