Plantar Warts: Effective Treatments - Salicylic Acid vs. Other Options

Salicylic acid is the most commonly used topical treatment for plantar warts. It works by keratolytically debriding the hard skin of the wart, making it easier for the body's immune system to fight off the virus. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and amino acids have not been shown to be effective in treating plantar warts.
