removed a plantar wart by yourself ?
I've done that. I got the wart last year and it lasted for six damn months. At first I tried the over-the-counter gel but it didnt work. That took about 3 months. Then I went to see the doc. He told me about the cryo treatment then shot liquid nitrogen to my foot. He held it there for 7 min. Damn, it hurt like hell :| After that, the spot got swolen at bled. A few days later, the thick layer of dead wart got peeled off. I thought it was gone for good. The damn thing came back. But this time I removed it myself. I pour liquid nitrogen into a small test tube (I got these from a lab I worked in) held it to the spot for 5 min each day for 5 days. After the swelling and bleeding, finally the damn thing was gone for good :)

With help from a doc. I went to see him about 4 times, the wart was on my finger. Each time I went he would freeze it with Liquid Nitrogen then take a scalpel and scrape a few layers off. A couple days after the 4th treatment I was scraping at it and the whole thing pulled out of my finger. Left a pretty big hole there too!
