What Are Plantar Warts?

Plantar warts are hard, rough growths that grow on the bottom of the feet. Standing or walking will push them into the foot, and the pressure can be very painful. Most warts are benign and can disappear without treatment, but Plantar warts are sometimes too painful to go untreated. Multiple Plantar warts growing together are called Mosaic warts.

What Causes Plantar Warts?

Plantar warts are caused by the HPV virus when it enters the skin through small skin abrasions. Warts may not appear for some time after the initial exposure to the virus. Plantar warts can be easily spread in public areas such as pools, showers, bathrooms and gyms where people walk around with bare feet.

What Are the Symptoms of Plantar Warts?

Plantar warts grow on the sole of the foot. They are tough, hard areas of skin with dark specks in the middle. Plantar warts can cause pain when you walk or stand, and it can feel like you are stepping on a rock.

How Can I Prevent Plantar Warts?

You can protect yourself against getting the HPV virus that causes plantar warts by wearing shower shoes or swim shoes when you use a public pool, shower, bathroom or gym. Washing your feet with an anti-bacterial soap after being barefoot in a public area can also help.

What Are the Treatments for Plantar Warts?

Determining how to treat plantar warts will depend on the age, size and number of warts, along with the individuals pain tolerance. Plantar wart removal can be quite painful. Doctors may use topical solutions such as salicylic acid to treat the warts over the course of a few weeks. Burning, freezing, lasers and surgical removal are the more aggressive and painful alternatives for more serious conditions. Alternative plantar wart treatments such as all-natural, safe and effective Wart-Free focus on gradually eliminating the Plantar wart.
