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.
A callus and a plantar wart are two separate things. A callus develops when the skin thickens in an area of intense pressure. The skin’s outer layer is “dead,” yet it adds to the pressure beneath the foot, causing discomfort and pain. A callus is treated with cushioning and safe removal of dead skin, which is usually done by a foot specialist in Houston.
