Plantar warts can be treated with a variety of over-the-counter medications. Each cure contains an active component that should help you get rid of your warts. Unfortunately, because they’re over-the-counter, they’re not always strong enough to get rid of the majority of warts. An OTC medication for warts that are still forming might be effective. Over-the-counter treatment is typically not the best option for bigger or multiple warts.
If you choose to try an over-the-counter wart remover, be sure to remove the dead skin on the wart with a pumice stone or callus file. This should be done every time you reapply the drug. We do not recommend the use of commercially available treatment that freezes the wart. It’s far less effective than what your podiatrist or dermatologist may use in their clinic, and it doesn’t penetrate deep enough to eliminate the wart.
