I've had a plantar wart for like 6 years. I've tried all the solutions, (cryotherapy), plasters, creams, etc. Nothing's worked. I got so pissed off some days I'd heat up a pair of scissors over the hob and start hacking into the bastard till it bled, but that just made it worse.
I went to the doctors just over a week ago, and they suggested the current thing (which apparently works) is to put duct tape over the wart for 6 days, take it off for one night and sand it down with a pumice stone, and then cover it up again for 6 days.
Duct tape works apparently because it's got 3 layers, and putting it over the wart deprives it of oxygen, which it needs to survive.
I'll post back in a few weeks to let you know how it's going. After the first 6 days I went at it with a scalpel and tweezers, and for the first time, it didn't hurt, so i was able to dig deep and pull out most of the root.
Good luck OP, I fucking hate plantar warts.
