Plantar warts are unsightly, painful and can be contagious. The small growths usually appear on the heels or other weight-bearing areas of your feet. The warts are caused by Human Papillomavirus. Some plantar warts can be very stubborn and hard to treat.

How Much Do You Know About the Different Types of Warts?
Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) – are not dangerous but can be very painful. In addition, they can be spread to other people readily.
- We have the knowledge and experience to treat the harmless common warts you may get on your toes, fingers, and elsewhere on your body.
- Periungual warts may affect nail growth as they cluster around or grow under finger- and toenails. The skin around the nail plate may resemble a cracked, thickened cauliflower. You may lose the cuticle or get inflammation as a result.
- A plantar wart grows into your skin and not out of it like the other types. You may notice a small hole encircled by flat, thick, hardened skin covered with black dots on the sole of your foot, especially on weight-bearing areas such as the heel, forefoot, or at the base of the toes. It can be very painful, tenacious, and tough to remove.
Do not bring anything that has touched an infected area into contact with the rest of your body or other people, as you may spread the virus.
When Should You See Our Podiatrist for Wart Treatment?
You may be waiting to see if your viral warts go away – and they often do in time. Individuals with callouses, corns, and ingrown toenails often try to manage skin and nail nuisances on their own.
- We suggest that you make an appointment for wart treatment if the growth is tender, presents with colour changes, you notice signs of infection such as scabbing or pus around it, or if it bleeds.
- You can prevent contagion if you wash your hands regularly, especially if you have been in contact with the virus. Refrain from picking at it, cover it with a bandage, keep your feet and hands dry, and wear flip-flops in a communal bathing area, locker room, or shower.
