Plantar's Warts

What are plantar’s warts?Plantar warts are benign (noncancerous) growths that occur on the sole, heel, or ball of the foot. Pressure from standing and walking often causes them to grow into deep layers of the skin. The human papilloma virus (HPV) causes several different types of warts, which are the most common type of skin infection. In some cases, the HPV virus dies within 1 or 2 years, and warts simply disappear.
Anyone can contract the virus that causes plantar warts. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), plantar warts occur most often in children and young adults between the ages of 12 and 16. Incidence is higher in people who share common bathing areas (e.g., dormitory students, gym members).

 Plantar's WartsA Random Controlled Trial To Compare The Effects Of Two Home Treatments: Melaleuca Alternifolia And Salicylic Acid (Salactol) On The Resolution Rates Of Verrucae Pedis.James, Leisa, Dr. Podiatry, University College Northampton April 2000
"Conclusions....A random controlled trial was conducted to compare the effectiveness of two home treatments: Melaleuca alternifolia and Salicylic acid (salactol) on the resolution rates of verrucae pedis and pain levels experienced when using a visual analogue scale. Ten subjects, (age range 16-45), with single plantar warts were randomly assigned to one of the two experimental treatment groups. Subjects received once-daily applications of either Salicylic acid (16.7%) or Melaleuca alternifolia (100%) for 12 weeks. Debridement and clinical assessment were performed at 0, 4, 8 and 12 weeks. Statistical analysis using a parametric unrelated t test revealed that no significant difference could be identified (p>0.05) when using Salicylic acid or Melaleuca alternifolia for the treatment of verrucae pedis. Therefore the null hypothesis was accepted. Statistical analysis using a nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test identified that there was a significant difference (p>0.05) when comparing the pain levels experienced when using a visual analogue scale. This concluded that there was an overall significant pain reduction when treating verrucae pedis with Melaleuca alternifolia." Click here to read the entire study
