Common and plantar warts — tracker
Track each wart, the treatment used, any soreness and how it changes, and keep the doctor’s plan in one place.
Use these notes with your child’s clinician. This tool does not diagnose illness, prescribe treatment or confirm that home care is safe.

Call 911 or your local emergency number if your child is very hard to wake, struggles to breathe, or seems to have a life-threatening problem.
Contact a healthcare professional
Seek care now for a red streak or spreading redness with fever, or a very sick child. Call within 24 hours for spreading redness without fever or a boil-like lump, and during office hours for plantar, face or genital warts.

Care reminders
- Warts are harmless skin growths caused by a virus, and they are very common in school-age children. Most go away on their own, and home treatment can speed that up.
- 17% salicylic acid once a day on the wart only, with or without duct tape; stop if the skin gets very sore.
- Call for plantar warts, warts on the face or genitals, 4 or more warts, or warts still there after 8 weeks of treatment.
