What Are Plantar Warts?

Plantar warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which enters the skin through tiny cuts or weak spots. These growths commonly appear on the soles of the feet, particularly in weight-bearing areas like the heel or the base of the toes.

Signs of plantar warts include:

• Small, fleshy, rough lesions on the foot.
• Black pinpoint dots inside the wart, often referred to as "seeds."
• Pain when compressing the sides of the lesion.
• Discomfort when walking or standing.

While plantar warts are not life-threatening, they can be painful and may spread if not treated promptly.

Why Professional Treatment Matters

Ignoring a wart can lead to further complications, including spreading to other areas of your foot or to other people. Over-the-counter treatments often provide limited results and may not address the root cause of the wart. Professional care ensures accurate diagnosis and effective solutions tailored to your needs.

Swift Wart Therapy: An Advanced Option

For patients seeking cutting-edge wart removal, we offer Swift wart therapy. This FDA-cleared treatment uses low-dose microwave energy to target the HPV virus beneath the skin. By stimulating the body’s natural immune response, Swift effectively treats the underlying cause of warts, not just the symptoms.

Key benefits of Swift therapy:

• Sessions are quick, lasting just 5–10 minutes.
• No need for invasive procedures or home treatments.
• Most patients can resume regular activities at once.

When to Seek Treatment

It’s time to visit a podiatrist if:

• Warts cause pain or discomfort during daily activities.
• Over-the-counter remedies have failed.
• The lesion is growing, bleeding, or changing in appearance.
• You’re unsure whether it’s a wart or another skin condition.
