A wart on the top of the foot really should be looked at by your doctor to make sure it is a wart. If it is then using a freeze off product can work well to elimnate this growth. Follow directions carefully when using this sort of product.

Medically, the best way is to go to a doctor and have the wart frozen off, but the best home remedy is to put a banana peel (the inside part) on top of the wart and wrap the foot with duct tape to hold the banana peel in place.

You can use duct tape at first as often this will remove them. If that doesn't work you can by medical products from your local drug store.

If a wart preparation you buy in a drugstore doesn't work your doctor may have to remove the wart. Some warts on the foot are stubborn to go away.

This may be a Plantars' wart and if it is, you will probably need surgery to remove it. This type of wart tends to have long roots and the wart will be cut out.
