I have had a planter's wart on the bottom of my left foot for quite a few years now and I can't get rid of it. The wart itself doesn't really hurt but the callous that builds up around it does - it feels like I am walking on a rock so I treat it for awhile with OTC remedies - wart remover and callous remover. When I get most of the callous removed, it doesn't bug me for awhile but then the whole cycle starts over again. I have a feeling that this wart has very deep roots. Can anyone out there, podiatrist or otherwise, tell me what I can expect in the way of treatment if I go to a podiatrist to get rid of this wart - hopefully once and for all. Are crutches ever needed for awhile after getting a planter's wart removed? I hope not because I am recovering from a hand injury. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
