Why Won’t This Plantar Wart Just Go Away?

Plantar warts can be surprisingly stubborn. You may have tried over-the-counter treatments, freezing, or simply waited for it to disappear, only to find yourself dealing with the same painful spot weeks or months later.

That’s because a plantar wart isn’t just a rough patch of skin. It’s caused by a virus, and getting rid of what you can see doesn’t always mean the problem is gone.

If your wart keeps hanging around or coming back, it may be time for a different approach.
