It has been about 2 years since I successfully got rid of my plantar wart but today I have a new one. It's on the same foot but in a different location. I called the same podiatrist and made an appointment and today is the day.
Here's a picture of the wart before I go to the office:
Same experience as last time. The entire visit with the Dr. lasts about 5 minutes. He comes in, says hello and asks what's going on today. I show him my wart and he immediately opens up a cabinet and gets the razor tool out and trims off the top of the wart. Opens a drawer and gets the bottle of Cantharone (Blister Beetle liquid) and then applies a small drop to the wart and puts a Band-Aid on it. Here's a picture of the bottle of Cantharone from the Dr. office:
After applying the Band-Aid, he tells me to leave it on for 8 hours and then wash it off with soap and water. He informs me that it may hurt for the next few days as the blister forms and that I need to come back in 1 week and he will remove the blister and check to see that the wart is gone.
I'll post a 24 hour picture tomorrow morning. After 9 hours, I removed the Band-Aid and washed my foot. You can see the cantharone on the Band-Aid:
Surprisingly, it did not hurt until about 24 hours after the treatment. Here is the picture after 24 hours:
Not the best picture but it is tender and painful if I stand and put pressure on it.
Here is day 3:
