Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and they look like plantar warts.
Plantar warts is a viral infection which has a tendency to spread.
It is a very common infection which can occur while walking bare footed, sharing shoes or socks with persons already infected and near swimming pool areas.
Ideally you should consult a dermatologist and get them removed by electrocautery.
It is a minor office procedure requiring 20-30 minutes.
Alternatively if you want to avoid surgery you can try using a lotion containing combination of salicylic acid and lactic acid on the warts twice daily for 2-3 weeks.
Various brands containing this combination are available in the market like salex L lotion and duofilm lotion.
This should help in clearing of the infection.
Regards
Dr Asmeet

Thank You for your quick response.
I will apply Salex-L lotion for a week and see the improvements.
I want to tell you, I don't have any pain or bleeding.
And about the Procedure,
Does the doctor give local anesthesia ? If No, Does it pain ? :( My weekness.
Attached the pic of the Salex-L loction.

Brief Answer:
Welcome!! All the best!!
Detailed Answer:
I have seen the picture and you can use salex L lotion twice daily for 2 weeks and then see the response.
Plantar warts are mostly asymptomatic.
They don't cause pain and bleeding usually.
The procedure will be done under local anesthesia and you won't have any pain.
