Plantar Warts

Overview

Plantar warts are caused by a viral infection and develop on the sole of the foot. Pressure from standing and walking may push them inward and make them painful. Treatment depends on the size, location, symptoms and persistence of the wart.

When to See a Podiatrist

If you're experiencing persistent pain, swelling, changes in skin or nail appearance, difficulty walking or bearing weight, or a condition that isn't improving with basic home care, it's a good idea to schedule an evaluation. Early assessment often leads to simpler, more conservative treatment options.
