WARTS

Effective Treatment for Painful Plantar Warts

Plantar warts are small, rough growths that appear on the bottom of the foot—often over pressure points like the heel or ball. Caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), these warts can become painful and stubborn without proper treatment. At our clinic, we offer safe, effective removal options to help you walk comfortably again.

What Are Plantar Warts?

Plantar warts are different from warts on other parts of the body. Because they grow inward beneath the skin, they may:

  • Look like thickened calluses with small black dots (clotted blood vessels)

  • Cause pain when walking or standing, especially if located over pressure areas

  • Appear as single warts or clusters (mosaic warts)

  • Spread if left untreated or if picked at

Plantar warts are contagious and commonly spread in moist environments like locker rooms, public showers, or pool decks.

How We Treat Warts

While many over-the-counter options exist, they are often ineffective for deeper or more painful warts. Our podiatry team uses targeted treatments designed to eliminate warts and minimize recurrence:

Topical Medications

  • Prescription-strength acids or antiviral agents to gradually destroy wart tissue

  • Often combined with debridement (removal of thickened skin) for better results

Advanced Treatment Options

  • For stubborn or recurring warts, we may recommend additional therapies like immune-boosting treatments or minor surgical excision

What to Expect

Wart treatments are performed in-office with minimal downtime. We’ll guide you through aftercare to keep the area clean, reduce discomfort, and prevent spread to other areas of the foot or body.
