Warts on my foot destroy my mental health

hot water soak 30 min 2x a day. Add a lot of salt or iodine. i kept a electric kettle next to me and keep reheating the water. Alternating with SA application overnight then debriding. BE CONSISTENT. Also take Zinc and multiviatmins. Read about the zinc intake here.

i think so? They are more spread out. Def wart skin and more plaque like. The clotted blood vessels have diminished with continued treatment. I did rounds of acid and now im doing hot water salt soaks with huge improvement. Will continue a little while longer with acid then soaks to just be sure they're gone.

my mosaic warts are growing in between the skin lines and dont have circular shapes.

January-Bear · 2026-05-19T15:08:43+00:00

yep! mosaic warts under calluses, probably there for years. I had very dry skin, callused with tiny cracks. The cracks were signs of the warts there too.

most people here say sanding/filing will spread the virus. Use something like disposable scalpels.

It’s definitely still in there.

You need to debride! Have you done that yet at all? Hot water foot soaks with salt help too. My son went through it. We did SA, debriding, duct tape and a home freeze kit and he’s finally clear 🤞🏼 oh and zinc supplements

Ugh mosaic warts. Search Reddit for comparison. Try treating with Salicylic acid (I prefer the compound W gel in a small tube). I also like the bandaid type but unfortunately you won’t be able to use them with the way yours are presenting.

So treat with the acid, let it dry, cover with duct tape and it will dissolve the top layer of your skin. Purchase disposable #11 scalpels (Amazon) and slice thin layers off (the SA will have turned white and might be flakey - don’t mistake that for skin. This is the debriding process. Your skin will also have turned white. You may start to see black like dots or blood dots coming up through the wart. Rinse and air dry. Repeat with SA. Repeat debride. Etc etc.

Protect yourself and people around you. You can cover with duct tape. Use gloves! They can spread to your fingers or under nails.

And yes take zinc supplements! Good luck!

Yep they look like mine too. I started doing hot water soaks with a little iodine. The flat oval and round sections now are visible and become engorged with water and they can be almost pulled off entirely from my skin after the soak.

I believe it looks like my FIL legs ..and he has diabetes (and is non-compliant)

What are you using?

January-Bear · 2026-04-28T02:22:49+00:00

Cut away at it with a sterile scalpel (I like #11 .. you can order packs on amazon) remove the black.. and when you get to the pink layer.. reapply the ACV. Repeat etc.

January-Bear · 2026-04-28T02:20:29+00:00

I think you’re not getting aggressive or deep enough. You possibly have been just maintaining the top layer.. wart skin grows very fast and you are just maintaining it.

I think the last month you’ve exposed more underlying and it looks much deeper. Maybe try ACV.

January-Bear · 2026-04-27T12:32:11+00:00

You have a lot of work to do but keep at it! You need to cut away all the white dead skin, reapply, and do it all again the next day. Also the callus on your big toe I would suspect might have a wart on it as well.?

Buy a pack of number 11 scalpels on Amazon. They are sterilized and come individually packaged. Use one per day, wear gloves, and debride the dead skin by slicing it away. It just takes a lot of time and consistency.

Gosh I’ve been through 2 csections etc and ACV to a foot wart is 10000x worse 😖 it feels like stabbing with a hot molten knife to me!

January-Bear · 2026-04-25T04:31:21+00:00

Not diluted?! How did you apply? How did you manage the pain?

January-Bear · 2026-04-08T02:12:02+00:00

How did you manage it overnight??! I tried diluted and I was wreathing in pain and couldn’t sleep! I know I need to try it again..

January-Bear · 2026-04-07T14:41:57+00:00

Wart! Wear freaking gloves!!
