While plantar warts are typically harmless, they can sometimes be painful to deal with. When plantar warts aren’t treated, they can easily spread to other areas around the foot, causing more warts to form and cause irritation. It’s important to understand when you’re dealing with a plantar wart and how it can be treated. Your podiatrists at Hampton Roads Foot and Ankle Specialists in Williamsburg and Hampton, VA Dr. Sara Bouraee, Dr. Jon Houseworth, Dr. Sun Byun, Dr. Daria Piotrowksi, and Dr. Shruti Vyas, can explain plantar warts and what you may need to know about them.
Dealing With Plantar Warts
Plantar warts are a common issue that many people might struggle with, and it can be painful and irritating. Plantar warts can easily spread around your own feet and to others if you’re barefoot in certain places. It’s important that you talk to our podiatrist in Williamsburg and Hampton, VA, about plantar warts so that you know when to seek out help.
Plantar warts are caused by a virus that tends to thrive in areas like public pools or locker rooms. It’s important that you’re taking steps to protect your feet in these situations so that you can avoid dealing with plantar warts. If you are dealing with warts, they can be difficult to treat on your own.
Plantar warts may take a long time to get rid of and can easily come back when treatment isn’t being applied. Our podiatrist may recommend treatments like laser therapy or different ointments to help treat your plantar warts and help prevent the issue from returning in the future.
