Does the white medical tape from a first-aid kit help get rid of a plantars wart like duct tape?

Filed under: first aid kit 

I have a medium sized plantars wart RIGHT on my heel. It hurts SOOO bad when I walk. I have my birthday party tommorow, which is a "dressed-up" party and I can't walk in high heels with this! I have white medical tape from a first-aid kit over it, just like duct tape. Would this still work? It sure sticks on better. I really don't know what to do before tommorow! Please help! Any solutions?

Freezing it with a dermatologist is best, duct tape works for some on common warts not plantar warts. Go and buy a foam heel insert from the drugstore and cut out an area where the wart is so when you wear shoes there is no pressure on the wart itself. sometimes they sell the inserts with the heel cut out for heel spurs. Then make an appt for a dermatologist. Cuting them out causes more.

    2. Unfortunatly if you have a real planters wart it will require cutting out by a Doctor… umm been thre done that and had to go for a second treatment, then it was gone for good!

    3. No, and duct tape doesn't work either. That's an old wives' tale. You need to go to the doctor. They can kill it, but you will have to wear comfy shoes tomorrow. Sorry.
