Plantar Wart – What to Do?

A plantar wart (verruca plantaris) is a hard, rough, round growth on the sole of the foot. Caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Contagious in moist environments such as swimming pools and gyms. Here you can read about symptoms, treatment, and prevention.

Symptoms and Cause

Pain or discomfort when walking or standing, especially on pressure points. Sometimes black dots in the centre (blood vessels). HPV enters through cuts or scrapes. Not everyone who comes into contact gets a wart – the immune system plays a role.

Treatment

Self-care: wart remover with salicylic acid. If that doesn't work: GP or dermatologist for freezing (cryotherapy), electrosurgery, or laser therapy.

Prevention

Wear waterproof sandals in public moist areas. Do not share towels or shoes. Keep feet clean and dry. Strengthen your immune system with healthy nutrition, exercise, and sufficient sleep.
