Seven-Year Plantar Wart Finally Gone
First, some background: deep single plantar wart on one of the soles of my feet.
Tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it, including:
- Starting with the Dr. Scholl’s plantar wart removal pads. Little did I know at the time, this had basically a 0% chance of working.
- Went to the podiatrist about 10 times. Had all manner of unsuccessful treatments, including: beetle juice (multiple times), targeted laser (multiple times), surgical removal, and perhaps a few more that I forget. Ended with the doctor advising the wart was likely not going to go away, and I would have to live with it.
Only one treatment was left in my case, and that was to push the wart deeper into the body in the hopes it would recognize it and start fighting it off. I was not very keen on this idea, as I had read online it was hit and miss.
- Taking things into my own hands, I had a compound chemist make some strong salicylic acid, and applied daily for about a month. Managed to get right down to the actual wart (you can tell when you get there) and kept on applying. This didn’t work.
- Next started freezing the wart with direct industrial freeze spray for about 60 seconds (very painful). Did this for about a month, which also didn’t work!!
It was then that I started reading about MMS. For context, by this time I had the wart for about 7 years.
There are two things I started doing, which I believe both contributed to finally the wart disappearing on its own.
- Applying MMS (1.5 mL / 1.5 mL of sodium chlorite / hydrochloric acid) with a Q-tip to the area daily after a shower.
- Taking 25 mg of zinc picolinate daily.
After doing this for about a month, my deep plantar wart is completely gone. No gross black blood vessels, smooth skin with foot lines visible over the area.
Thank goodness I’m done with that.
