That being said.. I also had one on my toe once and I tried the same thing, except the jolt of pain from burning it caused me to shake my foot and ended up burning a totally different hole onto my toe. I know there's some way to freeze them off or something though. :S | ||

Something I read awhile ago, and used, was to use the inside of a banana peel on the wart, just rub it in. This got rid of of a couple warts i had like a year ago. Sounds wierd but it worked lol. | ||

For the past two years, I've been stressing with warts so I'll give some input. Basically I started my remedy from home remedies to eventually having a doc surgically remove it just like you. However, you could ask the doc to apply silver nitrate afterward to stop the bleeding, only downside is having a black paint mark on the area for a week. About warts on feet though speaking from personal expedience, avoid freezing it. It'll cause blister and hurt like hell walking. Rather, try using salicylic acid and use a metal emery board to scape off the wart. If that shit don't work and you have insurance, ask your doc to prescribe you Aldara. It's expensive as hell but is working for me. It's basically a cream you apply that boosts your body's immune system to fight off the virus. Best part is it's painless. GL with warts, OP. Shits annoying as hell. | ||

Take duct tape, cut it into little squares and put it over the wart, TIGHTLY. Preferably so water doesn't get in there. Don't take it off until it falls off, and try to NEVER expose it at all. I had about... 2 years of my life when I randomly got like... 10-20 warts on my feet. I killed every single one of them in a couple weeks with this strategy. Seriously, it sounds stupid but just try it. Random info I just googled: + Show Spoiler + DUCT TAPE FOR WART REMOVAL A study by Dr. Dean Focht, reported in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine (http://archpedi.ama-assn.org), found duct tape to be more effective than treatment with cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen used to freeze warts). Dr. Anthony J. Mancini, pediatric dermatologist at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago uses duct-tape therapy for warts. In an interview with the American Academy of Dermatology consumer magazine, "Dermatology Insights," duct tape treatment was discussed by Dr. Mancini (www.aad.org): WHY DUCT TAPE Two theories were proposed as to why duct tape works: 1. Debrides (removes dead skin) from the wart, thereby gradually eliminating the wart virus that resides in the skin. 2. Occluding the wart with duct tape somehow gets the patient's immune system activated to attack the wart virus. DUCT TAPE TREATMENT PROCESS There are various ways to use duct tape on warts: 1. Patients apply the duct tape to the wart, keep it in place for six or so days, then remove it, soak the wart, and pare it down with a filing (emery) board. 2. Apply over-the-counter salicylic acid wart remover liquid to the wart before bedtime. After letting it air dry for a minute or so, apply the duct tape over the wart, completely covering the area. Remove the duct tape the following morning. Each time they remove the tape, they are debriding some of the wart tissue. Repeat the application each night, until there is no remaining wart tissue. DOWNSIDES TO USING DUCT TAPE 1. The skin can become very macerated (red and soggy) under the duct tape. If this happens, then take a few nights to one week off of the treatment to let the area breathe and dry out, and then resume therapy. As Dr. Mancini points out, duct tape treatment is a gradual process that takes time and commitment on the part of the patient. For more information see www.aad.org | ||

I also had a plantar wart on my foot at one point, but a couple of weeks under a bandaid with said cream got rid of it with little hassle. I guess I was lucky it never got to the point of surgery. | ||

anyway warts are some virus shit... no idea where they come from if you have some wounds or small cuts i think you can get them easier.. :S dunno about your warts maybe the virus is still thriving deep inside your skin so it keeps coming back .. -_- thansk for all the responses people. might give the banana skin thing a try though it seems doubtful LOL. | ||
