"I have a plantar wart that bothers me and I would like to treat it but I am pregnant. Could there be a risk?"

It is generally recommended to wait until after pregnancy to use treatments containing salicylic acid for warts. However, if the plantar wart is causing significant discomfort, alternative methods like using duct tape or seeking treatment to have it frozen off with liquid nitrogen could be considered. It is advised to consult with a healthcare professional before trying any treatment while pregnant.
