A few years ago, something like a wart appeared on the bottom of my foot. I don’t know what caused it.
I noticed a small wart, and as I touched and scratched it, it gradually got bigger.
I left it for a while, and it got even bigger.
I began to feel pain when I walked.
Dermatologist’s diagnosis
I went to two hospitals.
I was diagnosed with “viral warts.”
The diagnosis at both hospitals was the same, so I think it must be true.
It seems that the infection spreads when you scratch your skin with your fingernails or get a wound on the skin.
The doctor told me, “The only way to treat warts is to burn them with liquid nitrogen, but that method is painful and there is a chance that they may recur.”
I hated it so much that I started searching the internet for other treatment options.
I applied a Japanese wound ointment and put a bandage on it.
Since it’s on the soles of the feet, if I don’t put a bandage on them, the medicine will get on the futon or floor.
After taking a bath, I would apply the medicine, put a bandage on it, and spend the day.
After a day had passed, I would take another bath, reapply the medicine, and put a bandage on it.
I repeated this process.
I continued this treatment for about two months. Then…
It healed surprisingly well.
I had been plagued by warts on the bottom of my feet for several years, making it difficult for me to walk.
It was easily cured with just an over-the-counter ointment that cost only a few hundred yen.
