Understanding Plantar Warts

Plantar warts are noncancerous skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) that typically develop on the soles of the feet. They often appear as small, rough, and grainy lesions, causing pain or discomfort with pressure.

Symptoms and Effects of Plantar Warts

• Recognizing Symptoms: Common symptoms of plantar warts include the presence of a hardened, grainy lesion with central dark spots, tenderness or pain while walking or standing, and the formation of calluses around the wart.
• Impact on Daily Life: Plantar warts can be bothersome, affecting your ability to walk comfortably and engage in regular activities. They can also spread to other areas of the foot or to other individuals if left untreated.

Personalized Plantar Wart Treatment Options

• Non-Invasive Treatments: Our skilled podiatrists offer various non-invasive treatment options tailored to your specific needs, such as topical medications, cryotherapy (freezing), and chemical cauterization. These treatments aim to remove the wart, alleviate pain, and promote healing.
• Surgical Options: In cases where non-invasive treatments are ineffective, we provide surgical options such as excision to remove persistent or large plantar warts. Our podiatrists will discuss the most suitable approach for your condition.
