Suggest Ways For Plantar Warts To Heal Quickly

Posted on Wed, 29 Jun 2016

Question: I have been using Duoflim as a treatment for my plantar warts. Now I can see some black structure at the effected area. In one of the warts(Fig 1) it is looking prominent, while in other warts, it feels as if it is becoming prominent. I am not sure what is happening. Whether it is curing or worsening. Please help.

It has been around 2 weeks of using Duoflim

Brief Answer:
Continue with duofilm

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.

I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have reviewed the images.

I suggest you to further continue with duofilm application. Also use a pumice stone to gently scrub off superficial dead skin before applying duofilm. It should take another 2-4 weeks for the wart to soften and come off. Normally it takes 6-8 weeks of total treatment for plantar warts.
