Understanding Warts:
Plantar warts are recognized by their location on the foot, their tendency to grow inward under a hard, thick layer of skin (callus), and the discomfort they cause. They can be solitary or cluster together in a mosaic wart pattern. While warts are generally harmless, their location on the foot can lead to significant pain.
Causes of Warts:
● Virus Exposure: HPV thrives in warm, moist environments, such as shower floors, swimming pools, and locker rooms.● Direct Contact: Warts can spread through direct contact with the wart or with surfaces touched by infected skin.● Cuts or Breaks in the Skin: Openings in the skin can allow the virus to enter.
Our Treatments for Warts:
Non-Surgical Treatments:
● Topical Treatments: Salicylic acid preparations to peel away the wart layer by layer.● Cryotherapy: Freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen to kill the tissue.● Immune Therapy: Applying substances to stimulate the body’s immune system to fight the wart.● Laser Treatment: Using a laser to cauterize small blood vessels around the wart, effectively killing the tissue.
Surgical removal may be considered for persistent warts that do not respond to other treatments. This can involve cutting away the wart or using electrosurgery to burn and remove wart tissue.
