Caravan park plantar warts

Gday
Change doctor , get a second opinion , see someone who knows what he/she is doing..

Sixty odd years ago I had one of those bl00dy things under the ball of my foot.
All manner of cures failed to get rid of it, but Mother kept on saying a "threepence" taped to it would do the trick.

And it did too, but dont ask me how, and dont ask me where to find a "thripenybit"!

Ask your GP about ALDARA CREAM.

It is expensive, from memory around $150.

It is used for Skin Cancers ect, usually takes about 6 weeks to heal.

There is another simple cure as well, and I know it works.

Cut a small 'square' or circle of banana skin about the same size as the wart. Tape it to the wart overnight using a bandaid or similar, making sure the fleshy side is against the wart.
In the morning, scrape off any loose or rotten skin.
Repeat each night until the roots of the wart are removed - you (or the missus) will need to do a bit of digging with a scalpel or sharp knife to get the dead stuff out.

Google 'using banana peel wart removal' for more info.

good luck with it...

Get Upton's paste from a pharmacist and apply it nightly under sticking plaster. It may take 3 weeks before the core of the plantar wart is eaten out.

Dry ice treatment Does get rid of it - my 10yr old had a nasty one last year and its gone forever. At first however her lovely gentle dr would give 10sec treatments weekly but it would regrow. One week the usual dr wasnt there and we got davids dr who is quite aggressive - one treatment from him of 1min removed it forever. Ut she couldnt walk for a day!
Good luck with it!

Cheers from pennies to banana skin I got a fair few options to try.
Much appreciated!

My mother used to scrub and boil them before she put them in the Xmas Pudding, I remember someone choking and from then on it was only Sixpence.

Geez I feel old.

hi ss--ss
you need to change to a doctor who knows how to use the freeze method and it wont come back
i have had plenty remove that way with one treatment each time
and i never shower in any public showers without thongs on my feet always made my kids do like wise
ps have you tryed a chain saw or an axe- lol
cheers

The home treatment methods do work but you have to perservere for a couple of weeks with daily treatment of removing the dead surface skin and re appying the liquid, then covering and leaving again.
Gradually the root will loosen and be able to be scraped or gently pulled out.

Some plantar warts can be very deep so again it take more than one application.

Far better to see a competent doctor who will freeze it in one or two sittings.

I wear a pair of old "Croc" style slip on rubber shoes and never go in a strange shower without them since I had a rather nasty one.

Believe it or not, you can get rid of them by will power. Doesn't sound very scientific, but it does work.

A few tales from old timers: We had a neighbouring farmer who had never married, and was a staunch member of the local church. He used to cure everyone's warts after just one visit by faith healing. Nephew had warts badly as a young teenager. Specialist gave him something to put on them daily; just water, but he had to say a magic word each time. This worked when nothing else had. When my children picked them up at school, liquid nitrogen was not always effective and very painful and doctor would only do one at a time. Telling them that magic would cure them got rid of them all simultaneously. Around this time i had one come up under my thumbnail - painful. It was not in a place to use liquid nitrogen, so bearing in mind all the above, i too told it to go away every day and it did. A few more warts caught while children were at school were similarly dispatched. We have the power and all the potions and lotions just bring that strength out of us. Don't give up - it takes a while but it will work. It is not as silly as it sounds.

When I was a kid I never wore shoes. I think my feet grew an immunity to everything then. Not surprising when you think of a school urinal.... ugh.... what a dirty little buggar I was. Anyway, so no, I don't tend to worry. I will post it if I ever get warted.

While I can appreciate the need to wear something on your feet while showering, does anyone have any suggestions for someone like me, who for medical reasons are unable to wear anything but boots? Would feel a bit odd showering in GP's.

Back in boarding school days we used to always wear thongs in the shower to avoid getting tinea - something i find very hard to get rid of. We did the same when touring around UK and Europe after leaving school. Since then, on all our Australian camping trips we have used caravan park showers with bare feet and never got tinea or warts. I don't even own thongs or crocs.
