Plantar Worts

hi, I have two plantar warts and what appears to be a third one growing, located on the sole of my foot.
The first two on the heel and the third one near the arch.
I have tried absolutely everything to get rid of them, but nothing has seemed to work. I have used over the counter applications, with 40% salycilic acid, I have had the main two surgically removed and they have grown back, and a second doctor prescribed me some sort of poison for topical application to stimulate the immune system to destroy it.
None of these have worked.
The third one is new and I would like to stop it now before it has a chance to grow as big as the others.
Do you have any suggestions? I do not want to have to go through the pain and expense of surgically removing them again for them only to grow back!thank you very much

    As you are aware warts are difficult to treat. There is no one thing that works on everyone all the time. That is why there are so many different things tried. Under the heading of conservative treatment, I have some success with using Tagamet and Lazerformalyde (a prescription formaldehyde solution). I also have used salacylic acid, Aldara, Carac, some homeopathic remedies (Thuja and Antimonium)
