Plantar Warts
Warts on the foot are a common problem affecting children and adults due to a virus. They can be painful on the soles of feet and between toes, expertly treated by your Podiatrist who sees them all the time. They are contagious and should be treated to stop them spreading to other parts of the body and other people.
Management
- Acids applied at home to the wart with regular short reviews by your Podiatrist to remove dead tissue and advice on further treatment.
- Liquid Nitrogen applied by your podiatrist under local anaesthetic, freezes the wart and destroys its cells. The wart usually falls out after a week or two.
