Application of surgical curettage combined with photodynamic in refractory plantar wart

Abstract

Plantar warts, infected by human papillary virus, occur in the heel, metatarsal head or metatarsal. Presently, the methods of treating plantar warts include cryotherapy, local injection of pingyangmycin, etc. However, these treatments have many problems such as severe pain, poor transdermal absorption and failure to reduce recurrence rate. In clinical practice, we found that for some refractory warts, surgical curettage combined with photodynamic therapy can be an ideal effect.
