Question : I am having a wart treated on the bottom of my foot. I have had several treatments and it seems to be getting more painful. I am an athlete who needs to use my feet (figure skater). Is there anything I could as for a prescription or over the counter topical that will relieve the pain in my foot or numb the pain while it is being treated, so I can train?

I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.

You may take an Oral anti-inflammatory/ painkiller e.g either Ibuprofen 400 mg or Diclofenac 50 mg, twice daily for symptomatic relief from pain while you are on specific treatment for the wart.
