A WART IS CAUSED BY A VIRUS. IT IS ACTUALLY A VERY COMMON SKIN INFECTION. IT IS CONTAGIOUS, WHICH WARTS ARE UNSIGHTLY AND SOMETIMES PAINFUL AND COMMONLY SPREAD. THEREFORE IT IS GENERALLY RECOMMENDED THAT WARTS BE REMOVED.

THERE ARE TWO METHODS I USE TO GET RID OF WARTS. THE FIRST METHOD INVOLVES APPLYING A MILD ACID TO THE FOOT. THIS SOFTENS THE SKIN AND SOMETIMES CAUSES A BLISTER TO FORM. IT SHOULD NOT HURT AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE RISK INVOLVED. WHEN THE SKIN IS SOFT ENOUGH OR A BLISTER FORMS I CAN EASILY PEEL THE WART OFF THE FOOT. THERE IS A 50/50 CHANCE THAT THIS WILL WORK.

THE SECOND METHOD I USE IS "BURNING OFF THE WART". THIS INVOLVES NUMBING THE AREA WITH A SHOT OF "NOVACAIN" AND THEN SURGICALLY REMOVING THE WART. THE AREA IS THEN CAUTERIZED TO PREVENT REGROWTH.

THIS METHOD TENDS TO HURT MORE AND THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE OF HEALING WITH A PAINFUL SCAR. THAT IS WHY I RECOMMEND METHOD ONE FIRST. HOWEVER THIS METHOD PERMANENTLY RIDS WARTS 9 OUT OF TEN TIMES.

THESE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW WHILE I AM TREATING YOUR WARTS

1- A MILD ACID WAS APPLIED TO YOUR FOOT, IT MAY BURN A LITTLE. IF IT IS EXTREMELY IRRITATING REMOVE THE BANDAGE AND WASH YOUR FOOT WITH SOAP AND WATER. CALL ME at 1-800-HAPPY-FOOT

2- IF THE BANDAGE IS NOT EXTREMELY IRRITATING KEEP IT ON. DO NOT GET IT WET!!!!! THIS WILL WEAKEN THE MEDICINE AND IT WILL TAKE LONGER TO WORK.

3- IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY GET IT WET; DRY IT WITH A HAIR BLOWER. SLEEP WITH A SOCK ON YOUR FOOT SO THAT THE BLANKET DOES'T PULL THE BANDAGE OFF.

5- IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS PLEASE CALL ME.
