warts: Quick Facts
Professional Treatment for Plantar Warts
Warts on the feet (plantar warts) are highly contagious and can be painful because pressure pushes them deeper into the skin.
The Difference Between Warts and Corns:
- Warts are caused by a virus and appear as lesions with small black dots (tiny blood vessels). The skin lines move around the lesion.
- Corns are not viral—they are simply areas of thickened skin caused by friction or pressure. The skin lines run through it.
Our Conservative Treatment Approach
While pharmacy treatments rarely work on plantar warts due to the hard skin covering them, our podiatrists use professional methods, including:
- Deflective padding to relieve pressure and reduce pain.
- Regular debridement to gradually remove the wart tissue.
- Specific topical treatments.
We avoid surgically cutting plantar warts out, as this often leaves a painful scar. Our conservative treatments aim to resolve the wart while keeping your foot comfortable.
Prevention Starts with the Right Shoe
Warts thrive in moist environments. Our team can provide hygiene and footwear advice to minimize the spread and recurrence of warts. If you are struggling with a painful plantar wart, ensure your footwear is not causing undue pressure on the lesion.
