how did i get the wart on my foot?
I still have it, and I’m doing “treatment” like duct tape, compound “w” and other remedies, but I was wondering something simple:
How did I get the Planters Wart in the first place?
I stay clean, shower every day, but one thing I hate wearing: shoes! I know it probably occurred this way, but from what?!?
I’ve only ever had 1 wart before, and it was about 10 years ago. And, oddly enough, it was in the same place (I know it didn’t just lay dormant & come back) It’s a new one!
Also, I’m so scared for that freezing off thing that the doctor wanted to do- so if anyone has any other suggestions I could do at home to remove it, that would be great!
I switch in between compW and Duct tape because compW eats away the skin around my foot (and the wart stays strong), so I must give the skin around it a rest.
Thanks!
I’m not sure, but I think some people are more vulnerable to wart viruses than others.
I recall being warned not to loan out my shoes as a teen, because of the risk of getting a Plantar Wart.
Try Googling “duct tape” & wart. My boss had little pieces of colorful duct tape on her for a while, per a nurse’s advice for getting rid of a wart. It worked for her. It’s supposed to create a seal against the air, & needs to be maintained consistently until things are healed.
