I don't have access to the journal of essential oil research, so I'm unable to verify thisclaim.
This Nov 2008 article reports successful treatment of common warts on the hand. The study is on a single patient and there are no controls, so any conclusions should probably be treated with caution. Furthermore, there is no evidence for treating plantar warts.
With only this evidence any claims about tea tree oil as a treatment for plantar warts isunverified or constitutesoriginal research.pgr94 (talk)20:42, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Alot of this stuff is wrong—Precedingunsigned comment added by78.149.99.96 (talk)12:24, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Can I add the potential of treatment through personal physical excising of the cluster to the page?
I've done this twice and have completely ended plantar wart incidents twice now in this way. I can explain in more detail if need be.Murakumo-Elite (talk)19:20, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It may sound gross and I guess it stems from an old wive's tale but urine does an excellent job at removing planters warts very quickly. Peeing while in a hot shower and swishing the affected part of the foot has caused my warts in the past to fall out often right after or during the shower.—Precedingunsigned comment added by24.215.52.166 (talk)07:42, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I had a big one on my index toe with a small cluster around it in highschool for several years, trying all kinds of topical treatments to no avail, and one day before gym class I was in the locker room changing socks, with my left foot resting on my right knee as I was sitting, and my usual bully came up and slammed the foot off the knee with a punch (hammer fist), and it hit the floor pretty hard, and suddenly there's blood everywhere coming from a pea-sized hole in my toe where the wart had been. The blood was just gushing out like crazy, freaking everyone out, but it eventually healed and never came back.— Precedingunsigned comment added by154.5.212.157 (talk)04:57, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Have added silver nitrate as an obvious solution. It is a simple caustic crystal that burns away the wart (and everything else if you are not careful). Still available over the counter in many places, but be careful with it. Much less painful than cryo-cures or real heat cauterisers. 100% successful in my case, if you give it two or three applications.

I had earlier in my life warts. I got this medical treatments:Bromoacetic acid applied on top, painfull sometimes, only to some degree successfull. I had one cut of at my wrist after it was fozen with some liquid that gets very cold when applied to skin, but I do not remember what it was. After the cuttig, the whole was treated withsilver nitrate, it burned like hell. But I got lots of small ones around the cutting line after that. Then an old woman showed meChelidonium. I found the plant growing on my way to school so I had a daily chance to use it. Just rip off a part and apply the yellow juce on top of the warts. Make sure that everything is covered and leave it alone for some days, dont scratch or wash it off. You may cover it with an adhesive bandage to prevent the stuff coloring your clothes or shoes or to hide it. After one week you can wash and rub it off and apply some new juice. I found out it works well, is absolutely free and does not hurt or bleed. It also does not affect the skin permanently, ist just colours the surface yellow which will disappear some weeks after finishing the treatment. I do not know if extracts or dried plants work the same way, so stick on the juice if you can. Now this treatment takes some weeks but I found it was the most effective way. By surgical removal there is blood which can infect other parts of the skin and does not prevent reappearance. Chelidonia leaves the skin undamaged, but it somehow activates the cornification of the warts so they will cornificate faster. The growth-rate of the wart is slower than the cornification rate, so it will reduce the size, till it disappears. Small ones disappear fast, bigger ones take longer but they reduce in size. I recommended this treatment to several people and none came back to tell me it did not work. So I recommend it to everybody, because it does not do any damage. If it grows still and does not reduce, it might be not a wart but a skin cancer or something else, so see a doctor immediately.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk)20:31, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
From the article ~"Infection occurs in an estimated 7–10% of the US population. In a 1949 survey of 3,906 mainland Chinese and 1,222 Indians who had never worn shoes, plantar warts were reported in 0.29% of subjects. [3] While lower than rates in the US, this alone ...."~
7-10% is represented as .07 -.10. Therefore .29% is NOT lower but 2-3 times HIGHER! Needs a rewrite as this contradicts the reference.— Precedingunsigned comment added bySir wolf2001 (talk •contribs)23:10, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
