Verrucae are benign proliferations seen in skin due to infection with papillomaviruses. There are different treatment strategies for warts but all of these treatments are painful, time consuming, expensive, and recurrence is common. To evaluate and compare the efficacy of intralesional 2% zinc sulfate solution vs vitamin D3 in the treatment of plantar warts, as well as reporting the side effects. This three-armed randomized clinical trial included 105 patients presented with plantar warts divided into three groups, 35 patients per group. The first group received intralesional 2% zinc sulfate, the second group received intralesional 2% vitamin D3, and the third group received normal saline. Four sessions were done, one every 2 weeks. At the end of the study, patients showing complete response were more in zinc group (71.4%), vitamin D3 group (62.9%) compared to saline group (40%). Most of the patients in zinc group showed severe pain during injection (48.6%), most of the patients in vitamin D3 group showed mild pain (80%), while most of the patients in saline group showed no pain (57.1%). Both intralesional 2% zinc sulfate and vitamin D3 are effective in treatment of plantar warts, with zinc sulfate being more effective.
