I got some warts on my foot from the pool. I guess I had a cut on my toe, and the virus got in. And now its spreading. What can I do? Anyone else have this kinda problem?

Havent had one of those since I was like 10. I remember they gave me all this crap to put on it, and told me to file it down everyday or something.
I tried their methods for like a week and it didnt change much. Finally got sick of it, took out a knife, and dug the thing out of my skin. Sounds gross and painful, but it wasent too bad.

Ewwww. That does sound sick. I got this acid stuff that I am going to start using. I think it takes more than a week, because some blood whatever's are there. Only time will tell.
Somebody, Dr. Scholl's, I think has some new stuff that is supposed to freeze them off instantly like at the drs. office. Only thing about warts though is that since it is a virus, they can come back. There's also band-aids and liquid you can use to remove them but I think that takes like three months.
I had...what's it called? Farmer's wart? Gardner's wart? ...something like that, several years ago. They have seeds that embbed in the skin. You have to have them removed. They hurt. The time I had it, it was on my foot. I could barely walk before seeing the doctor, it hurt. Thing is, those are contageous as well.
I saw a foot specialist and he removed them for me. Acid and freezing. I think it was acid. It burned like crazy!
Poor kid.

hey Lila, plantars wart. They are only on your feet and yes my dad had one and he said it hurt. The wart, I never asked about the removal, ouch. Kas, the salicylic acid is the stuff that takes a while to work, I think.
1st time, and it went well. The 1 main wart is really soft and I think will be gone in a week or so. The others will take longer for sure.

Ewww. I've had one once...caught it at a pool too. Now I don't walk around a pool deck or in the locker room without sandals. I'd suggest seeing a doctor, s/he can give you a recommendation for an effective treatment. I used Duoplant (it's over the counter) and it worked really well.
