Plantar Warts

Warts are small rough lumps on the skin. They are caused by a virus (human papillomavirus) which causes a reaction in the skin. Warts can occur anywhere on the body but occur most commonly on hands and feet. Sometimes several occur in the same area of skin. The shape and size of warts vary. Most people develop one or more warts at some time in their life, usually before the age of 20.

They are not usually harmful. Sometimes plantar warts are painful if they press on a sensitive part of the foot. Some people find their warts unsightly. Our Podiatrists can use a variety of treatments to help resolve plantar warts.

We now provide Swift Microwave treatment for warts. A quick, simple & effective treatment for plantar warts. See more here
