Some of the plantar warts don’t require any treatment. They often go away by their own with time. But some of them may cause serious complications. If left untreated, plantar warts may become cancerous after some time.

Plantar warts can spread to the other areas of the body, as they are highly contagious. In order to prevent them from spreading, they should be treated. They are quite irritating, painful and difficult to walk with. So they must be removed.
There is as such no plantar wart cure, but it can be achieved by various plantar wart treatment options. The treatment options used for plantar warts cure include use of mild acids, duct tapes, cryotherapy, laser treatment etc.
The most commonly used treatment for plantar warts cure is the use of mild acids like salicylic acid, cantharidin and dichloroacetic acid. These acids are applied topically over the plantar warts. Application of these acids over plantar warts for several weeks may help in plantar wart cure.
Duct tapes can also help in plantar wart cure. The tape is applied over the plantar warts and they are left for six days. After six days, the affected area is washed and the dead skin is removed by rubbing it gently with a nail filer or pumice stone. This type of plantar wart cure may take up to 8 weeks.
Plantar wart cure can also be achieved with the help of cryotherapy. In this treatment the plantar warts are froze with the help of cold solution like sodium nitride. The plantar warts turn black initially and fall off after few days.
Another treatment widely used as a plantar wart cure is a laser treatment. This plantar wart cure treatment uses CO2 lasers to kill the virus. This treatment is expensive and painful and may leave a scar behind.
Debridement is another type of treatment used for plantar warts cure. It is used only when large numbers of plantar warts are present in a particular area. It involves cutting off the warts with a scalpel. This treatment is usually not used as a planter wart cure as it produces scarring and is quite painful.
A surgical procedure named electrodessication is also used as a plantar warts cure. It involves cutting away the plantar wart by using an electric needle. This treatment is quite effective but leaves a scar on the foot.
There are various types of over the counter medications available of plantar warts cure. But these medications are not prescribed as they contain harmful chemicals, which not only destroy skin cells but also damage the normal healthy skin around the plantar wart.
Your doctor may use any of the above-mentioned treatments for plantar warts cure depending upon the type of wart and your tolerance level. He will always start up with over the counter treatments and if they fail, he will move to other treatments.
