Whilst many over the counter treatments exist, it is a little hit or miss as to whether they will work. Thousands of searches each day are made online because of this, as people desperately try to find a medication that will actually do what it promises, and remove the troublesome Plantar warts.
The biggest issue with these medications is they tend to treat the wart itself. Often, the wart will shrivel up and reduce significantly, and symptoms of pain will lessen. The sufferer will of course initially be happy with this. However, despite constant application of the medication, it will not disappear completely and the Plantar wart will return in most likelihood - possibly more aggressive than before.
Effective treatments are those that go straight to the root of the wart, and attack this. It is for this reason that treatments such as freezing by liquid nitrogen, conducted by a doctor, are effective.
This is a painful treatment, as where Plantar warts develop most often are packed with nerve endings. A less painful procedure is to have the crown of the wart removed, (with no nerve endings here, this is hardly felt), and a chemical dressing applied. Again, this gets direct to the root of the Plantar wart.
Other treatments through your doctor exist, including excising the wart through minor surgery under a local anesthetic. However, if this is not something you would like to consider, there are natural treatments to treat Plantar warts that many people have had success with.
