Plantar warts are small growths on the soles of the feet caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are often confused with corns but can be more painful, especially when standing or walking. Plantar warts can appear as single lesions or in clusters and may persist if left untreated.
Seeing a podiatrist for warts ensures an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment that targets both the wart and the underlying virus.
Common Symptoms include:
- Pain or discomfort when walking or standing
- A raised or rough lesion on the sole of the foot
- Small black dots (clotted blood vessels) within the lesion
- Thickened skin over the wart, sometimes mistaken for a callus
Early assessment by a podiatrist for warts can help prevent the spread and reduce ongoing discomfort.
Treatments We Provide:
- Debridement – careful removal of hard skin over the wart to reduce pain and prepare for further treatment.
- Chemical application – targeted solutions to destroy wart tissue.
- Surgical removal – an option for persistent plantar warts that do not respond to conservative care.
Treatment plans are tailored to the size, location, and persistence of the wart, with care delivered by an experienced podiatrist.
At Perfect Motion Podiatry, our podiatrists provide safe and effective plantar wart treatments tailored to your needs. By addressing both the pain and the virus itself, we help you return to comfortable, confident movement while reducing the chance of recurrence.
