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.
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
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.
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.
