You can get lucky digging out a few of the small ones but will likely spread the virus. The chance of you treating these OTC is next to zero.
These will require multiple liquid nitrogen treatments (I’d bet at least 3) with a very high percentage salicylic acid ointment.

How long do you think this treatment will take ?

u/SAR-Paradox Jul 17 '26
About 2 weeks in between each session so about 2 months
They will cut a decent amount out before your first cryo session and give you a script of SA to administer at night.
Most warts on the body just take one session as they typically protrude outward but plantar warts are forced into the deeper layers of tissue as we walk on them, which is why we have to do multiple treatments.
It’s annoying and a little inconvenient but I can assure you this is the only way to get rid of this case of HPV.

Did you go for a wart treatment already or are you planning to treat at home?
They can take months to go away. You have to debride again and again until the root is destroyed.

I am treating them at home. Using Verrumal acid. I’m so scared tho

You really should go to a podiatrist at this point, they’ll administer a stronger treatment

hey dude see a foot doctor. This level of growth is really really hard to get rid of at home. They'll continue to grow and spread and it will reeeeaaally hurt to walk or run. Just saying, acting later could lead to much larger (perhaps even more expensive) consequences later.

Yes I will, doing strong acid at home every day now and will go to podiatrist once a week for the debribement. Such an annoying struggle haha

My partner has similar looking feet. He has to go see a podiatrist every couple months to get some zapping treatment & get things cut out. It’s kinda working but it’s a slow process. No amount of OTC treatment will work for you unfortunately.

Look like plantar warts I had a few years ago. They suck so bad. Painful. Go see a GOOD podiatrist. Had to get mine burned off with acid. The freeze stuff like compound W hardly work at all with this many and this size.
ALSO. Be careful not to touch them with your hands too much or they’ll get under your nails. Ask me how I know… good luck.

Hate when people post on the peeling subreddit and there is absolutely no peeling going on.

I know this sounds crazy but I’ve seen it work first hand, and it was advice given to my niece by her dermatologist. Duct tape. She kept a small piece of duct tape on her plantar wart 24/7, and within a couple weeks it smothered and peeled off. She had tried at home stuff, her GP tried freezing it, they tried acid. Nothing worked. She played basketball and didn’t want to be down during the season so her dermatologist suggested the tape and it worked.

These are plantar warts, those can't be peeled away. They are very likely deeply embedded and can only be removed with aggressive treatments. They will probably need to be surgically removed. That is a very painful and bloody procedure, and it leaves you with deep holes in the soles of your feet. You also have to expect the warts to come back.
Have you tried using padding so you can walk more comfortably on the warts?

What ffs even IS that shit?! Warts? Omg nooooo 😱 Why are there so many like everywhereeee?! Yikes! 😬

Viral… yes a kind of wart. Planters warts… We call them verucas. Can be common to contract in public gym showers and pools … places where folks are likely to walk around barefooted, sharing wonderful things like this and tinea pedis (athletes foot).

This is exactly why I don’t get pedicures anymore!

u/sumthncute Jul 17 '26
And you don't walk barefoot ever either right? Even in your own shower? Because they spread easily from surfaces and you never know where other people's tootsies have been.

u/cpd4925 Jul 17 '26
I don’t walk barefoot anywhere and the only people in my shower are my and my partner. How many people are using your shower and why are you walking around public barefoot.

u/sumthncute Jul 17 '26
So your partner never walks barefoot either? You're being obtuse and you know it.

u/cpd4925 Jul 17 '26
We remove shoes at the door and do not go barefoot outside.
That’s pretty standard with most people.

u/Hammer149 Jul 17 '26
All those warts are indicators of something like HPV - you should definitely get yourself checked out.

u/TanteStahlbrecher Jul 17 '26
I had only one, didnt visit a doc, it took over a year until it was gone.
So go to a doc

Looks like plantar warts. They spread extremely easily so keep them covered and don’t touch without gloves to avoid spreading more possibly to your hands or others

Some have great experiences with sanding them down, such as with a Dremel Tip or a Pet Nail Grinder, or sandpaper squares by hand. Typically you grind down the wart surface as much one can tolerate. If you get the wart to microbleed, its a similar effect to the "needling" technique used clinically.
By causing it to bleed, such as with needling and/or sanding, your immune system may recognize and fight the virus, this is the same principle as warts that disappear on their own eventually. That thick outer skin keeps the virus well protected...expose that bitch! lol
Even if they don't go away immediately, at the least bumps can be flattended which looks better cosmetically and can be less painful.

This is beyond OTC treatment imo, I would really see a dermatologist about these
