Here are the most controversial and claimed plantars wart treatments that are up to this day still being argued. I personally find one of these natural plantars wart treatments really effective. Sometimes, being desperate will lead you to try different treatments but just a mere caution, think of health safety FIRST.

Salicylic Acid - This medication is easy and quite cheaper as compared to the other forms of treatment. Salicylic acid slowly “eats” the plantar warts in time. That is why this type of plantars wart treatment will take about six to eight weeks to fully remove the plantar warts. The following is the common procedure in applying a salicylic acid.

- Clean your plantar warts with warm water. Have it soaped and scrubbed with pumice or similar material to remove the top layer of your wart.

- After having your plantar or plantar warts cleaned, dip cotton into your salicylic acid solution and directly wipe it on the warts. If another dipping is necessary, please do not use the same cotton.

- Cover your treated warts with clean gauze to have it protected against itching and rubbing with your other skin areas. This will prevent spreading of the plantar warts in the other areas of your body.

- Do the treatment thrice a day. Once in the morning, at noon, and before going to bed. Remember, constant treatment should strictly be followed to get rid of your plantar warts quick.

This is the best procedure to follow as other people just directly apply the salicylic acid to the plantar warts even without considering cleaning them. Follow this simple plantars wart treatment using salicylic acid and have your warts completely gone in about four to six weeks. Here is another popular plantars wart treatment that people consider so be painful and unlikely to leave scars and marks.

Burning - Burning the plantar warts might be an awful option for some people but desperate as they say, it is most likely to be a choice by most. Some uses incense, cigarette lighter, intensely heated metal rod, or even cigarettes. In burning plantar warts as a form of “treatment”, it will leave obvious marks. My plantar wart was removed by directly burning it. Incense was an ultimate solution that I finally got my nasty plantar warts removed. This may be a very painful plantars wart treatment or procedure but it sure did work for me. So here is how I removed the nasty plantar warts using incense.

- Clean not only the infected area of the skin where the plantar warts are located. Use warm water to soften the warts. Lightly rub the warts with a pumice stone or similar material to remove the callus or the top layer of the warts.

- Wipe the warts to dry. Prepare a lighted incense, a pail of water, and a scrub or a pumice stone.

- With the lighted incense and the ember glowing, dip it directly and burn the warts with the incense stick. You should feel the pain and smell the burnt skin (warts).

- After burning the warts, soak your infected foot with water and forcefully rub the warts off. It should start to bleed and feel so painful.

- If the “root” of the plantar warts won’t come off yet, repeat the burning process. As many would say, “No pain, No Gain”. Soak it again with water and forcefully rub the “cooked” warts, if a lump of white material is removed with tiny little hair-like materials comes off when rubbed, the root of the wart has just been removed. It should leave a small clean whole where the wart has previously lodged.

- Apply an antiseptic like iodine to avoid infection of the hole the wart has left. Cover it then with a clean gauze.

When done correctly though very painful, it should cure your warts in two to three days. I personally did this procedure and it has been almost two years since I had plantar warts. This plantars wart treatment may not fit for everybody, but I know there are lots of desperate guys and gals out there who are wanting to remove or get rid of the nasty plantar warts immediately. I know some of you are afraid to try burning warts and this next method seems to be perfect for you.

Duct Tape - Many doubt the effectiveness of duct tape as plantars wart treatment. Contrary to non controversial and non stereotype medication or treatment, duct tape seems to be ridiculed or doubted. Treatment for plantars warts using duct tape has long been accepted by many to be effective but some people who sell anti wart solutions tend to nullify or question the validity of the claim. So here is the procedure on platars wart treatment using duct tape.

- Clean your plantar warts with warm water and sulfur soap. Lightly rub the top surface of the warts with pumice stone or similar material to remove the outer covering of the plantars wart.

- Wipe it clean and dry.

- Cover the plantars wart with duct tape. Be sure that the duct tape should firmly hold on your skin and ensuring air is unable to get through the plantars wart.

- The duct tape should hold up to five days. As the duct tape will fall off, soak in your plantars wart in warm water and slowly peel them using a pumice stone. Again, cover it securely with a duct tape. Repear this procedure as the duct tape falls off. REMEMBER that we are going to soffocate the plantars wart.

- Do this as a routine and the plantars should disappear in 4 to 8 weeks. Plantars wart treatment using duct tape is very easy to do and is painless.
