6. Duct Tape Occlusion Method

⏳ When to See a Doctor

- You have diabetes or poor circulation
- The wart is painful or bleeding
- Natural remedies show no improvement after a few weeks
✅ Bottom Line
Plantar warts are stubborn but not dangerous in most cases. Natural remedies like apple cider vinegar, garlic, tea tree oil, and banana peels can help over time, especially if paired with good foot hygiene and immune support. Patience is key, as results can take weeks to months.
