My babysitter noticed a plantar wart on my son's foot. How do I treat it?

Hello!

You can first try a treatment that is available over the counter. This is a salicylic acid liquid, such as Soluver or Compound W. Here are the steps to follow:

Also, you can apply a substance such as Vaseline around the wart so that the adjacent skin is not irritated.

You can repeat these steps once or twice a day until it heals. A treatment may take several weeks.

If despite this attempt the wart is still present, I encourage you to see a doctor so that he or she can treat it with another method.
