Plantar warts are painful, not to mention ugly. Getting rid of plantar warts can be difficult, but with the help from these tips, you can wave you warts bye bye. This is a guide about plantar warts remedies.
This tip for removing planter warts has worked on both my sons. They get them on their feet. Use clear nail polish and seal it with duct tape. This method truly gets rid of them permanently, but it can take up to a year. If you are not diligent about it, it can take longer. You have to suffocate the wart. It is a virus and very hard to kill, but with patience, you can do it at home. My son had it frozen and cut out 3 times. It came back. With the above process, it has not been back for over 3 years now.

I tried all over the counter meds but found a foolproof way without really spending lots of money or time.
Get some Dr. Scholl's little round bunion pads (or the generic brand as long as it has an adhesive side to stick to your foot). Take one round pad and cut it into 1/4 sizes so the round pad is slightly larger than your wart. Wipe the wart with hydrogen peroxide first then dry wipe and stick the pad over the wart.
You must change the pad every shower or bath and it takes about two weeks to kill the wart. What happens is the wart has no air and the moisture slowly deadens the skin in and around the wart. Just like when you have peeling dead skin from standing in water too long.
After two weeks, use a sharp matt knife and pick the small chunk of dead wart out, sometimes it takes three weeks. You can usually pick out the dead wart and the tail which extends down into the foot.
Afterwards keep your foot clean and dry. Do not walk barefoot for awhile. It might be slightly sore for a few days where the dead tail attached down into the good skin but not very.
I've tried this twice before and worked both times.

I had one on the ball of both feet. My girlfriend sent me this article out of the paper from a doctor out east. When I read it, I thought "who in their right minds would walk around with banana peels on their feet?" But I did. LOL
Take and cut a banana peel the size of the wart and put it skin side out, covering the wart. Completely cover with masking tape real good, then put on your socks and shoes. Change it every day and keep covered completely with the tape.
It took me a while to get used to walking on it. It felt sqooshy but it did the job. I did not think to write down the time limit. Never thought I'd be talking about it on the computer. Good luck.

I had Plantar warts as a child and I had them removed by a doctor burning them off. They were under the skin and it felt like I was walking on pebbles.

There has to be a home remedy or discovery someone has made that truly removes plantar warts. Please share!

Clear nail polish worked where freezing, $50 solution and others did not. I covered wart and surrounding area once a day for 2-3 days. Peel off old polish and dead wart layer and repeat. The polish is waterproof and cuts off wart's air supply thus killing it.
Does anyone have an easy no-fail home remedy for plantar warts?

You can try to remove the wart yourself but it's best to see your doctor because just because you remove the wart doean't mean you've removed/killed the virus (HPV). A doctor will remove it completely and it's not a big deal; they just numb the area and cut it/freeze it out.
It's best to take care of it as soon as possible because they can easily spread by touch not just on you but also to others. You don't even have to simply touch a person just a surface (including something seemingly harmless like a towel) and if their skin touches it they can get them.
Oh, I really hope someone comes up with some ideas here! I had surgery to remove a plantar wart plus to shorten the toe that was causing it in February of this year and I can already feel a tiny bump starting to form in the same place again. So I would love to hear any reasonable suggestions. I don't want to go through all that again!
