Foot Warts?!


Question: How foot warts(Verruca Plantaris) is caused and what is the cure?
Answers:
Warts are caused by a virus that enters the body through a break in the skin. The virus grows in warm, moist environments, such as those created in a locker room or in your shoes when your feet perspire and the moisture is trapped. Plantar warts often spread to other areas of the foot, increase in size, and spread, resulting in a cluster that resembles a mosaic. Although plantar warts may eventually disappear by themselves, you should seek treatment if they are painful. Your physician will carefully trim the wart and apply a chemically treated dressing. The physician will also give you instructions for self-care. Salicylic acid patches, applied on a daily basis, and good foot hygiene, including regular use of a pumice stone, are often all that is needed. However, it may take several weeks for the wart to disappear completely. If the wart is resistant to treatment, your physician may recommend an office procedure to remove it. After a local anesthetic is applied, the physician may use liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart and dissolve it. To avoid scarring or damaging other tissues, this method removes only the top portion of the wart. The treatment must be repeated regularly until the entire wart is dissolved. Alternatively, the physician can cut out (excise) the wart. To reduce your risk for getting plantar warts, be sure to wear shower thongs or sandals when you use a public locker room or shower. Use foot powders and change your socks frequently to keep the feet dry.

i had a foot wart and had to get it frozen off. It was a plantation wart I think it was called. I don't know what caused it, but it was on my heel and hurt like heck.
I'm not sure what causes them, but as far as curing them try this:
Wash your feet very good, then cut a garlic clove in half and rub it on the warts. Make sure it does not get on your skin other than the warts. Garlic is very strong and it will burn your skin. Do this at least once a day.
