[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 579242, member: 1233"] Warts are one of the hardest things to get rid of, and plantar warts go deeper than most. My bro ended up having six cut out at once, from both feet, bc he ignored them for too long and it was the only way to get rid of them. Using something to slough off the top surface after the chemical is applied is the best way to handle any kind of wart. I would not use pumice because it cannot be cleaned effectively. You can reinfect yourself by using the pumice stone more than once on a wart. I buy cheap emery boards, the roughest ones I can find, usually ten or twenty for about a buck at BigLots, and for small warts I break them in half or thirds depending on the size of the board. After a shower or bath, I use the emery board to remove the top part of the wart and apply more wart medicine. I throw the emery board away after it is used, and never reuse it. If you want something you don't throw away, get a metal file and run it through the dishwasher after every use or boil it for five min on the stove after each use. Often the virus that causes warts lives on/in the body causing no problems until the immune system leaves an opening, and then it grows into a wart. You could have gotten them at home or had the virus in your body for years before you actually got warts. It isn't usually the case that you get them from a single exposure somewhere. As this heals, consider something with lidocaine in it to put on the sore area as long as the skin is not broken.
