(i have yet to find a doctor where i live as well. besides i&#39;ll be a nurse soon, what do i need a doctor for:)) i&#39;m not sure what they have in the uk, but i know in the us they just started carrying an otc kit so you can freeze then off yourself. it costs about 14 dollars. i heard duct tape works really well too, not sure why, but i know some people who have had success with it. btw.. how long has it been there for? how big is it?<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/9272?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 18 Oct 2003 15:25:31 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:2e6e16e7-0d14-4e75-9074-a67a777ab178Former Memberplantar warts. Plantar is the sole of your foot. They can be frozen off, cut off or they sell a heavy salicylic (sp) acid on a band-aid that you can wear. By the way-- I believe that they are contagious?<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/9249?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 18 Oct 2003 12:07:27 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:9cb55bf5-3d8d-455c-8c1f-58c0a6366da3Former Memberwarts...<div style="clear:both;"></div>
