AB A  15-year-old  boy  presents  with  painful  growths  on  his  right  heel  for  approximately  6  months  (Figure  134-1).  It  is  painful  to  walk  on  and  he  would  like  it  treated.  He  was  diagnosed  with  multiple  large  plantar  warts  called  mosaic  warts.  The  lesions  were  treated  with  gentle  paring  with  a  #15  blade  scalpel  and  liquid  nitrogen  therapy  over  a  number  of  sessions.  He  and  his  mom  were  instructed  on  how  to  use  salicylic  acid  plasters  on  the  remaining  warts.
