Wart Treatments

Say Goodbye to Freezing—Modern Solutions for Wart Removal

Wart treatments have come a long way, and outdated methods like freezing are no longer your only option. Warts are small skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and often develop on the bottom of the foot, known as plantar warts. These growths are especially common in children, teens, and older adults.

Types of Plantar Warts:

• Solitary Warts: A single wart that can grow larger and potentially spread to form new warts nearby.
• Mosaic Warts: A group of smaller warts clustered together in one area, often more stubborn and challenging to treat.

Common Signs of Plantar Warts Include:

• Thickened Skin: Warts may resemble calluses due to hardened tissue.
• Discomfort or Pain: Especially when walking, standing, or applying pressure to the sides of the wart.
• Black Dots: Tiny dark spots may appear on the surface—these are clotted capillaries (small blood vessels).

Plantar warts can slowly grow deeper into the skin, often starting small before becoming more pronounced.
