I had plantar warts which made it painful to walk. The podiatrist told me to buy compound W...This can be expensive if your on a fixed income....when I told the doctor I couldnt afford it...He said,..I'm not suppose to tell you this, but theres another way that's a whole lot cheaper and just as affective..a bottle of aspirin....so I bought a bottle of aspirin at Walmart for just under $1 dollar... I added water to the tablets and made a paste out of it. I then put the paste on some gauze and taped it with electrical tape to the warts on the bottoms of my feet...duct tape works good also...It worked!! The warts are gone and it hardly cost me anything!!
That is why it is called "medical practice". Glad you are doing better.
I had few plantar warts to my fingers. I wanna try aspirin. How long your warts gone? thank you
@@nicoleramillano1757 depends on how big or small the wart is...I would roughly estimate at least a week or two...but dont over do it..check the warts every few days.
Thank you so much for making this video. You answered all my questions.
Thanks Mathew for taking the time to comment.
Excellent, clear explanation for the layperson. I've used a combination of Compound W or similar product until the wart begins to dislodge. I follow by clipping the remaining connective tissue with a nail clipper, then deliberately overdose the remaining tissue with Freeze-Away. It's been effective in the past, but I've been struggling with the same, recurring wart. I will try the Curad 40%. Thank you for this video!
Thank you for the thumbs up.
Thank you frugal foot this will help my frugal foot!
Like it!
Thanks doc this was really helpful
Thanks for the drinks example. I really understood that 🤣🤣
I'm glad that you caught that one. Most people don't get it..... even in the office.
I am so happy I found you. I had plantar warts surgically removed there was another problem the doctors found I imagine that is the reason they performed surgery. The warts on the operated foot never came back thank the Lord. It feels like a pebble is under a bundle of nerves on my foot. Haven't found a doctor that is willing to go the surgical route
Is there a doctor in the Santa Barbara California area that will do the surgery it would be wonderful not to continue with this pain.
Thank you doctor Dave.
I don't know any doctors in Santa Barbara - so sorry.
@@frugalfoot4973 thank you for your quick reply.😀
Thank you Dr Dave lots of good information. 👍 👍
Thanks for the appreciation Anabela.
Thank you
I’ve been using compound for a couple weeks now. How long should you wait to put on more applications?
Thanks for the Info Doc!
👍
So I have a plantar wart on my foot and I used compound w freeze off on it, is the skin where the wart is hardening a good or bad sign
If it pops clear or foggy liquid is that a blister? Warts are solid or may leak blood?
Good info. Thank you.
Thank you for the comment
Quick question regarding the Compound W one step pads... the ones I've got have the larger bandage piece (looks like a corn bandage basically) and when I peel that if the backing, there is a small circular pad that stays attached to the backing paper until I peel it off separately. Which one of these things has the salicylic acid on it?? Do I place the small pad onto the wart and then center the larger pad over it to cushion it? Or just place the larger pad, centering the "hole" where the little pad was on the wart? The instructions on the box are too vague for me haha
I just called their customer service department with the same question. Put the little circle on-that's the part that contains the acid. The reason why it sticks to the paper, according to the customer service representative, is because the product is old. He asked for the lot number and date. I told him the date was Feb 17. He said it's from 2017 and to throw it away. I asked for a refund and he said no. 😕
Excellent question! The instructions on the box are WORTHLESS!
I am here because I have the same question. The center "button" stayed on the paper.
I use the CompoundW 1 step strips... Do I ever need to take the band aid off and let it breath or no?? I had mine on for 3 days now and when I took it off to change it to a new bandaid my skin looks soggy and white.. I’m a tan skin color😭
When the skin is white and soggy it is burned. Technically that is how the acid destroys the wart. But I would exercise caution at this point and let the skin heal so it doesn't create an ulceration. I've seen salicylic acid burn to the bone. Once the burned skin has sloughed away and the skin has healed another treatment can be considered if the wart is still present.
Can u use on finger
How do I re apply the compound w maximum liquid wart remover do I wash it after then do it again

when do you stop?
Great video. What about showering or even bathing? Can I take a hot bath like I do a few times a week to relax w these two warts or will they transmit elsewhere on my body that way? And, do I need to clean the tub w Lysol w every single shower or bath? What about the bathroom floor? Sheets? I live alone but I’m a bit of a germaphobe. I figured I’d ask an expert rather than make myself nuts. Thanks in advance. 👍🏼
Plantar warts are viruses but they have to penetrate through the skin which is difficult unless there is a break in the skin (like a callus or cut). Standing on the wart helps it get through the skin. That is what makes plantar's warts unique. It's far less likely that you'll contract a plantar's wart from bed sheets or your bath but I'd certainly lean towards cleanliness. A more likely scenario is contracting them on your fingers after touching the wart. So always wash your hands with soap and water after self treating. I like your lysol idea.
Frugal Foot false alarm! They turned out to be corns, but I thank you for your speedy reply. It was much appreciated. Doc took them off. Good news: my bathtub is sparkling clean from all the Lysol lol Have a good day!
@@jenjiworld Great news! Thanks for the report.
How do i know if they are warts or blisters? I had them on my foot first and i popped and made it worst 😭😭😭. Now it spread under my toes and now on my hands.
Most warts typically look like a callus with black dots that have pinpoint bleeding when they are scraped. Blisters will usually be fluid filled. If you have a blister you do not want to use Compound W on them. I'd get them checked out.
Hello what are you supposed to do when you take a shower? Are you supposed to remove the stickers? Most instructions say keep it on there for 48 hours so just curious
Excellent question. I usually recommend replacing the stickers when they get wet.
So I used one and on my first two days with it the area surrounding the wart turned white. Like a pretty big part of it. Is this normal??
So I read the other comments on how is muring the skin. Should I wait a few days and let it heal around?
@@mangotango0290 When the skin turns white then it is being burned. You do not want the skin around the wart to be damaged. So definitely let the skin that turned white heal up.
Hey Doctor. I've had two super expensive cryotherapy sessions for my deep plantar wart but I notice no good results. Should I go for another session as it burns a hole in my pocket each time? Or should I just try OTC methods like salicylic acid? Thanks in advance!
Almas: I appreciate your question but I refrain from giving personal medical advice. You have to ask your own doctor what is the best treatment for you. Your doctor may have a battle plan but you should be privy to it. Work together as a team. Call your doctor up this week and express your concern. Warts are tough to get rid of. Best of luck.
OK 👍
So the sticky part goes on the wart ? If so I’ve been applying it wrong 😭😭
Yes. The sticky side goes on the wart (I assume you are referring to the mediplast).
Me too.... I took the Band-Aid off the clear strip and that little yellow dot came off too ao I figured it was supposed to. Guess now
Not**
Me too--no wonder it was not working. The instructions on the box are terrible.
With the little strips will the plantar wart fall off or will you pick off the dead skin???
It may just fall off or you may find that it easily picks off. But just remember that warts are contagious so you really should try to avoid touching it. Make certain to wash your hands afterwards.
@Frugal Foot, one last question, if I choose to pick it off, (prob will) will it bleed because I think you have to go down kinda deep once the compound w works it out.
@@hello-kp6ux It probably will. And it may not guarantee that it is gone. Warts usually have calluses on top of them. That may be what you are actually picking off. When you go to a doctor they can trim off the callus so that you can apply the acid directly to the wart.
Okay, when I woke up this morning it was gone..I think...it was a pinky color with no black dots idk if it’s gone or what but it didn’t fall out or anything it just disappeared...idk what it is
@@hello-kp6ux Never a bad idea to have lesions checked out by your doc when suspect.....
Crunch up an asprin in water to make a paste.
That is a great comment. Unfortunately it will take a lot more than water to knock the acetyl off. But good thinking!
I have a question doctor so I had one on the bottom of my feet last year and I got it removed and now after a year I got it back under the place where it was last time like not exactly at the same place. So like why? Why am I keep on getting them
Warts are viruses. They are difficult to eradicate and often come back in and around the area where they first appeared. It could even be a completely new wart especially if one's lifestyle does not change after treatment - for example: continuing to walk barefoot in an infected environment. They are no fun.
Frugal Foot oh okay so you advise me to not ever walk barefoot in order to avoid getting them again doctor?
Or is it also maybe because of weak immune system
@@danalovve1492 Dana: I can only speak for myself when I say that I never walk barefoot in a public place (hotels, gyms etc).
Frugal Foot okay thank you so so much doctor!
How long are you supposed to leave the salicylic acid residue on my hands and foot?
Different sal acid products have different instructions. I believe the Compound W is two days and the Mediplast is up to ten days. However, I usually tell my patients to replace sal acid every day so they can check the skin and make certain it isn't ulcerating - just to be safe.
Frugal Foot but when I apply it do I leave on for a few minutes? Hours, for the night?
I don’t have the bandaid I have the one with a little brush.
MEDIPLAST DOES NOT STICK TO YOUR FEET.
ITS GARBAGE
AT LEAST COMPOUND W STICKS
