Suggest Treatment For Plantar Wart On Foot

I just picked at my plantar wart on the bottom of my foot and it now has a quarter size patch of fresh skin and it looks like there might still be a little wart left in there, my doctor liquid nitrogen froze it off and I have been using compound w for a week now and that s when I picked it off. What is the next step I should do? Should I keep putting the compound w on, or just let it be and dry out, I just don t want it to come back, any suggestions?

Hi,

If you don't have deep pain on pressure at the area possibly it's removed completely. You should:
- Either consult your doctor to inspect and feel to judge the exact condition to confirm complete removal
- In case of no pain, stop using the wart local medication and let the thing dry off.

In case of complete removal there won't be any after symptom. Otherwise, visit a surgeon for complete removal.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
