Things You'll Need:
- Tea tree oil
- Gauze or bandaid
- Surgical tape
- Epsom salts
-
Step 1
Wash the area very carefully and soak the foot for at least twenty minutes in a warm foot bath with epsom salts. Do this right before bedtime.
-
Step 2
Dry the foot and examine the plantar wart. Is it infected? If so, do not use tea tree oil. Call a doctor and schedule an appointment. If the wart is not infected, move on to Step 3.
-
Step 3
Take a small cotton swab and soak it with tea tree oil. Dab the plantar wart with the tea tree oil, and then tape the cotton swab to the plantar wart with a bandaid or with surgival tape over gauze.
-
Step 4
Cover the bandage with a clean cotton sock, and go directly to bed. Do not walk on the bandage.
-
Step 5
Repeat this action for one to two weeks. You can apply tea tree oil more than once a day if needed.
