Anyone undertaking research about this strain of HPV will have found, as I have, that there is very little current or recent studies into the mosaic plantar wart and in particularly the various treatments used. A trawl on the net has so far thrown up just one research report by Soroko et al from 2002. Do you know of any others?
Why do you need research on HPV. Just treat the mosaic with laser. Steve Bowskill in Charlestown South of Newcastle Australia has had excellent results.
I have removed some 15,000 HPV in the past 15 years. Over 98% success rate.
Sounds impressive Don but do you know of any articles/papers that back up the treatments you mention. I’m researching the subject only and need hard facts.

:)Hi,
I normaly use nitric acid at 60% and the results are very good. by the way with your treatements how much time do you take to eliminate them? (Portugal)
Martin,
I went onto Google.com there were 702 hits on plantar mosaic warts but scanned throught the first couple of pages and found nothing that would probably be of help.
You could try the Society of Chiropody Journals, Australian Podiatry Journals but from year and years ago. Every year a college student produces a paper on warts
There is a Podiatrist in the UK doing extensive research I met him in Christchurch, Mr Michael Potter, Southhampton University.
Thanks for the Michael Potter tip. Google and Google Scholar have been useful to a point as has PubMed. The AJPM and BJP jointly published a study in May this year by Penny and Newcombe (Victoria, Australia!) and this looks a reliable piece of work for general verrucae pedis but not mosaics. I'll keep looking.
Hi All.
I have used 60% sal acid, and a saturated solution of monochloroacetic acid, with resounding success; But it is a really painful therapy, and so, I now use glacial acetic in combo with 60% sal acid. Not as dramatic, but less painfull, and it works. use also 90% AgNo3 rubbed into small verruca, and occluded with fleecy web for one week also really effective.
