Hello, I am a sixteen year old female and
I have some plantar warts on both my feet.
I noticed them not too long ago and I
booked an appointment at a nearby clinic
because my family doctor closed his
practice. I had read up about them
beforehand, so I had expected some
instructions and for her to trim them and
apply some sort of dressing. I know there
are other treatments as well, but I was
surprised when we had to use Liquid
Nitrogen. I was told it would be very
painful, and I was okay with that because
I was almost positive she would use
anesthetic.
She didn't, I don't know if that is
common. After that I simply hobbled out of
the room and left. I am finding it very
painful, it's been a few hours and I was
told I would need to come in weekly to get
this done. I am wondering if there is any
other treatment for me, as I missed an
entire shift today because it's so
painful. I haven't tried any of the over
the counter products, but I am still okay
with enduring the pain if this is the best
way to get rid of them.

Hey Posted: 09-06-07 13:03pm
they always use liquid nitrogen first.
then if that doesnt work they cut it out.
you can get over the counter wart removers
but it takes time to get rid of them.
patience is key. sometimes they just go
away by themselves. I oftern pulled the
roots out of mine and they went away.
