Benefits and Drawbacks of Laser Treatment
While laser treatment can be highly effective, it may require multiple sessions and can be more expensive than other methods.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy involves boosting the body’s immune response to fight off the virus causing the wart.

This treatment is typically used for warts that haven’t responded to other treatments. It may involve injections or topical treatments that stimulate the immune system to attack the wart.
Trick 4: Preventative Measures
Maintaining Foot Hygiene
Keeping your feet clean and dry is crucial in preventing plantar warts. Moist, dirty feet are more susceptible to HPV.
Tips for Keeping Feet Clean and Dry
Wash and completely dry your feet each day, being mindful of the gaps in between your toes.
Change socks regularly and use foot powder if your feet tend to sweat.
Wearing Proper Footwear
Wearing the right shoes can protect your feet from HPV.
Choosing the Right Shoes for Protection
Opt for shoes that fit well and provide adequate ventilation. Avoid walking barefoot in communal areas.
