We had them burned off twice and they just grow back.she uses salacylic acid on them twice a day. I think she got them at the gym. She is desperate and is considering the HPV vaccine which I’ve told her to research because I do not think it’s a good idea. And it’s an off label use. Any suggestions for alternative treatments?

I had a plantar wart on my foot that I got from the locker room back in high school. It stayed on my foot for years. I put everything on that thing, even filed and scraped it off quite a few times, but it kept growing back. Finally I got so fed up with it that I dug in with my pocket knife and carved that sucker out by every stringy root it had. It looked like an alien lifeform that was approximately the circumference and depth of a pencil eraser. I had a hole in my foot for a few weeks while my skin grew back, but it felt so liberating! I suppose, if she doesn't want to resort to that, she could probably have them professionally removed by a doctor.
