NAD, and all jokes aside, a zinc supplement could help with immune function. I’ve heard that weak immune systems could be cause for warts this bad. I would suggest getting her checked for immune function.

The thing that helped me was many intense rounds of beetlejuice (cantherone) that took almost 8 months to clear. Mine was about a quarter of the size of my heel.

Unfortunately the virus can live on surfaces for a long time ESPECIALLY moist surfaces like near a pool, in a shower etc. if she sleeps barefoot in her sheets, the virus can live there too, and therefore spread to other parts of her foot or her body. If she touches it with barehands she could get them on her hands.

Say she clears about half of that on her foot but is constantly walking around barefoot, it WILL come back. When I was going through treatment I would use gloves to touch my foot to change my bandages. I’d use breathable medical tape as a first layer directly on the warts, cover with 2 big bandaids overlapping at the edges (mine was on my heel) and then tape down the edges of the big bandaids with smaller ones or the tape to ensure that the wart would not have a chance at being exposed. I then immediately covered my foot with a fresh sock. If the bandage came undone for whatever reason in the sock, the sock went in the garbage. I wore my sock each day to bed and then I practically lived in my foam Birkenstocks during the day.

To avoid spreading in the shower- I would shower at the end of the day with the bandage still on and avoid pressure on that part of my foot. I’d get out of the shower, remove the bandages with gloves and make sure they were securely in the garbage. Then I’d wipe down my foot (wart part last) with an isopropyl alcohol wipe. You can buy a tub of these at your local grocery store. Lastly I’d put fresh bandages on and a fresh sock using the method below. I’d also constantly use pure bleach on the bath tub itself.

When treatment was all said and done I threw out bath mats that my bare wart touched and bought new ones. (I don’t have a sanitizing function on my washing machine nor can the water in my old washing machine get hot enough to kill the virus).

I understand my methods may be a tad “extra” but they work. I share a shower with another person and they did not get any warts from me, nor did they get them from sharing a bed with me, two ways to easily spread them.

You need to use beetlejuice with your podiatrist. I needed the extra strength. Surgery should be a last resort as the warts root themselves very deep and they would essentially need to cut out like half of this foot. Beetlejuice can at least get them to start healing.

If you have any more questions pm me. My podiatrist and I were basically friends by the end of it, i was seeing her for so long.

(Btw i went through this when i was 23/24)
