“…Salicylic acid dissolves keratinocytes and desquamates the horny layer of skin. Cantharidin degenerates the desmosomal plaque, leading to detachment of tonofilaments from desmosomes by activating or releasing neutral serine proteases 16 . This process leads to acantholysis, intraepidermal blistering, and nonspecific lysis of skin 17 .…”

“…However, the disadvantages of this procedure are that it is very painful and difficult to tolerate. Currently, numerous other therapeutic options for plantar warts exist, such as surgical excision, salicylic acid, carbon‐dioxide (CO 2 ) lasering, and so on 5,6. The current treatment modalities have been used with variable success.…”

Background and Objectives Plantar warts are a viral infectious lesion on the foot. The regression of plantar warts can be challenging despite the presence of a variety of available treatment modalities. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been recommended for the treatment of plantar warts. However, the effect of PDT in the treatment of plantar warts is not clear. Thus, we compared the efficacy of combining superficial shaving with PDT (SS‐PDT) with that of cryotherapy in the treatment of recalcitrant plantar warts. Study Design/Materials and Methods Forty‐six patients with 271 warts received SS‐PDT, and 26 patients with 147 warts received cryotherapy. For the SS‐PDT group, the lesions were shaved in situ, and PDT was performed immediately. For the cryotherapy group, appropriate pressure was applied by freezing rod to fully freeze the lesion tissue. The overall clinical response effects, recurrence rates, adverse events, patient satisfaction and the quality of life were assessed. Results The SS‐PDT group achieved a 91.3% success rate (defined as >50% on clearance) after treatment for 6 months, whereas only 23.1% of treatment in the cryotherapy group was successful. After 6 months of follow‐up, the recurrence rate in the SS‐PDT group was significantly lower than that in the cryotherapy group (8.7% vs. 76.9%, P < 0.001). The patients with SS‐PDT were more satisfied with the treatment than the patients with cryotherapy (8.8 ± 1.4 vs. 4.9 ± 1.4, P < 0.001). Moderate pain was the main adverse event in SS‐PDT, and cryotherapy may cause severe pain and blistering. Conclusions Our results suggest that superficial shaving combined with PDT is promising as a safe and effective therapy for patients with plantar warts, especially for patients with multiple recalcitrant warts.

“…Cuando se realiza el mismo procedimiento pero se sustituye el término "cryotherapy" por el de "laser", se obtienen 51 artículos (5, 6, 22,24,25,26,27,39,43,49,51, 46]. Como hay 7 artículos en los que coincide el descriptor "cryotherapy" con el de "laser", el total de artículos utilizados pasa a ser 39.…”

Revisión bibliográfica sobre la eficacia terapéutica de la crioterapia y el laser en el tratamiento de la verruga plantar provocada por el virus del papiloma humano. AbstractCryotherapy and laser are currently two of the most used techniques for non-surgical treatment of human papilloma virus that causes plantar warts. The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate which of the two techniques mentioned above have a higher heal rate in the treatment of verruca plantar. A bibliographic search was done in the scientific website PubMed, using the terms: "plantar wart", "plantar verruca" and "plantar papilloma" combined with the following descriptors: "cryotherapy", and "laser". These descriptors encompass both, the unique treatments through these two techniques and the combination with others, such as the salicylic acid and photodynamic, narrowing the research to the period ranging from 1st January 2005 to October 2015. The results obtained from the 19 articles which collect cure rates, show that regarding the treatment of verruca plantar, laser is therapeutically better compared to cryotherapy. Being Erbium Lasers YAG combined with photodynamic and Carbon dioxide lasers the treatment with the highest rates of cure. Therefore, taking into account the rates of healing, the study shows the potential of laser against cryotherapy for the treatment of verruca plantar.Key Words: Plantar wart, verruca pedís, papillomavirus (HPV), cryotheray, laser, laser photodynamic. ResumenLa crioterapia y el láser son dos de las técnicas físicas más usadas actualmente para el tratamiento no quirúrgico del virus del papiloma humano causante de las verrugas plantares (verruca pedis). El objetivo del presente estudio fue comparar estas dos técnicas para evaluar cuál es la que mejor tasa de curación posee en el tratamiento de la verruga plantar. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en el portal científico PubMed, con los términos "plantar wart", "verruca plantar" y "plantar papilloma" en combinación con los descriptores "cryotherapy", y "laser", que engloban tanto los tratamientos únicos mediante estas dos técnicas como los combinados con otros, tales como el ácido salicílico y la fotodinámica, acotando los años de búsqueda al periodo que comprende desde el 1 de enero de 2005 a octubre de 2015. De los resultados obtenidos, los 19 artículos que recogen tasas de curación muestran la superioridad terapéutica del láser frente a la crioterapia en el tratamiento de la verruga plantar, siendo las tasas de curación más elevadas en el láser YAG de Erbio combinado con fotodinámica y en el láser de dióxido de carbono. Por tanto, con el presente estudio queda demostrada la mayor tasa de curación del láser frente a la crioterapia para el tratamiento de las verrugas plantares.Palabras Clave: Verruga plantar, verruca pedís, virus del papiloma humano (VPH), crioterapia, láser, láser con fotodínamica.
