Can someone please tell me what warts look like? I have these little bumps on the side of my big toe. They are flesh colored and don't hurt unless I wear tight shoes. Should I treat them as warts?/ :rolleyes:

The duct tape therapy was done like this: The first piece of duct tape, cut as close to the size of the wart as possible, is applied to the wart and leave the tape in place for 6 days. If the tape falls off reapply a new piece of tape. At the end of the 6 days remove the tape, soak the area in water, and then gently debride the wart with an emery board or pumice stone. The tape is left off overnight and is reapplied the following morning. Leave it on for another six days. Repeat this six day on, one night off cycle for two months or until the wart is gone.

The duct tape works for plantars warts (worked for my son) but never worked for the one I had on my hand. When I did the duct tape on him the wart actually came off, stuck to the tape! Duct tape works like clear nail polish -- provides a seal so that the wart cannot breathe. If it doesn't work then I would suggest Wartners wart removal (the one that freezes the skin). It worked for me on that stubborn wart I had for over 2 years! You can buy it at WalMart.

To tell you the truth kitkat, I don't know if it is a planters wart or not.What is the difference? I never had a wart before. I saw some pictures of ones with the black spec in the middle, doesn't look like that????Help!

i have found the new "freeze" products are the best and fastest. Technically called Cryo-surgical treatment. Is safe and chemical free.
