How Do You Freeze Plantar Warts Safely During A Pregnancy?
Plantar warts are warts caused by the HPV virus that appear on the soles of the feet. They look similar to other viral warts in that they’re white, bumpy and dry on top. Because they are pressed into the skin while walking, they can become quite painful. Plantar warts are relatively harmless, but highly contagious. The best way to get rid of them is by freezing them with liquid nitrogen, which is also the safest method for pregnant women. Freezing plantar warts while pregnant carries some slight risks (just as using any other kind of medication), but most pregnant women should be able to treat plantar warts as easily as they would if they weren’t pregnant. Talk to your OB/GYN before having warts frozen or freezing them yourself with over-the-counter medications. She will know the risks, if any, associated with a medication and will advise you on whether the need to remove the wart outweighs the risks to your baby. Avoid any kind of medication to treat plantar warts in the first 24 week
