Plantar Warts

Plantar Warts

Plantar warts are small, noncancerous growths that occur on the surface of your skin.  They may be found on the sole, heel or ball of the foot.  This condition is caused by a virus known as HPV, and although it is generally harmless, it can spread from person to person.  Plantar warts can be transmitted when in public pools, gym showers, and other regularly wet surfaces. 

It is important to have any growths on your feet diagnosed.  This is especially true of diabetics and those with weakened immune systems.  If you think you have plantar warts, visit us at our practice.  We offer a variety of treatments, including laser treatment.  After a diagnosis, we can provide you with the treatment that is best suited to relieve your irritation, discomfort and pain.
