Do you have a Painful Wart in your Foot..?

A wart is a small growth on the

skin that develops when

the skin is infected with a

virus

Plantar warts are caused by direct contact with the human papilloma

virus (HPV).

Most often plantar warts

grow on the bottom or

sole of the foot where friction and

pressure occur.

The growth produces a

thickening of the skin similar to a callus and can become painful and irritating when walking.

The virus is normally passed

to the skin by direct contact in public areas

such as showers and

swimming pools.

Common symptoms of plantar warts (foot warts)

include:

• Foot pain similar to a pebble or small stone being stuck in your shoe.

• Firm, rough, bumpy lesions with small dark spots.

• Several warts may join to fuse together and form a larger wart.

Treatment Options for Your Plantar Wart...

Options for treatmentmay vary based on thelength of time the plantarwart has been present

andthe severity of pain thewarts are causing at thetime of diagnosis.

If you are experiencing painful foot

warts in between your toes or on

the soles of your feet it may be due to plantar

warts...

However, a professional consultation

from a Podiatrist

specializing in plantar warts

is recommended

to be sure
