I used to get planters warts as a kid, and got one on my hand. The best method for each wart really depends on the nature of the wart. How deep it is, what size it is, where it is located etc...

So you essentially have to try a bunch of different methods until you find the right one.

The Dr. Scholls pads will usually work put require a lot of patience. From what I can tell they essentially just kill the skin around the wart. So you have to wait until enough skin is dead that the the entire thing comes out. You will know when this happens because the entire things should come out and it will be round like a ball as opposed to flat on the side that grows into your tissue.

Freezing will only work with the shallow ones.....

Fortunately I haven't had one in over a decade.
