Abstract

Treatment of plantar warts is often difficult and may be painful, often employing destructive treatment modalities. http://www.aafp.org/afp/2004/1215/p2335.html We report the successful treatment of a patient with a large plantar wart using Imiquimod 5% cream under occlusion with a 40% salicylic acid pad. This combination treatment modality likely allows successful delivery of Imiquimod through the thick skin on the plantar surface. Once penetrated, an anti-viral state is created by upregulating specific cytokines to eradicate the human papilloma virus (HPV).
