Plantar Warts
Warts on your feet (Verruca Pedis)
Plantar warts are hard, grainy growths that usually appear on the heels or balls of your feet, areas that feel the most pressure. This pressure also may cause plantar warts to grow inward beneath a hard, thick layer of skin (callus).
Plantar warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus enters your body through tiny cuts, breaks or other weak spots on the bottom of your feet.
Most plantar warts aren't a serious health concern and may not require treatment. But plantar warts can cause discomfort or pain. If self-care treatments for plantar warts don't work, you may want to see your Chiropodist to have them removed.
Treatment for plantar warts can be a frustrating and long process if not done properly. Commonly patients have been trying over the counter products, and painful freezing procedures with no success.
Your Chiropodist/foot specialist will review with you the treatment options for your situation. Treatments can range from conservative painless topical treatments, to surgical needling procedures. All treatments are performed in office by the Chiropodist.
If you think you may have a wart, or are prone to getting them, make an appointment to see the Chiropodist/Foot specialist at (613) 440-3839 to get treatment. Let us help you with your wart removal process.
