Planter Wart- When to visit the Dermatologist

Dermatologists are the experts when it comes to planter warts. Planter warts are very stubborn when they become imbedded. Continued pressure from walking aggravates the planter wart and also helps it spread. The wart will eventually disappear...in a few months. If you've tried the home treatment route with little success...visit the doctor. Especially if it becomes to painful to walk this is your only option. The Dermatologist has several courses of action when dealing with planter warts. Treatments include: Cryosurgery(freezing), Salicylic acid (45%), Electrodessication (electrolysis), and Laser Surgery. Believe it or not some still use duct tape?

More on these treatments when I get back from work. At least you have a planter wart and not a genital wart.
