Plantar warts are small, hard growths on the skin of the foot. They are usually flat or slightly convex in texture and white, gray, or yellowish. Abnormal growths cause discomfort and painful sensations when walking, especially if they are located in areas of high stress.
These growths on the legs are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), especially its variants, which can infect the upper layers of the skin. The pathogen viruses are contagious and are transmitted through direct contact with an infected surface or through small micro-injuries on the skin. Here are some ways to contract plantar warts.
Transmission of the virus through shared personal items (towels, shoes) is possible (rare). And weak immunity contributes to easier infection and development of warts.
Plantar warts cause discomfort in the foot. They have characteristic symptoms.
If such symptoms appear on the sole, especially if they are painful or do not disappear on their own, you should consult a doctor or dermatologist. They will be able to make a diagnosis, offer the best treatment, and give advice on prevention. Remember that self-treatment often leads to complications.
Laser therapy is a modern treatment method that can be extremely effective in dealing with abnormal growths on the sole of the foot. Our clinic, located in the heart of downtown Chicago, has mastered the highly effective technique of laser removal of growths on the foot.
But it should be noted that not all plantar warts are equally suitable for laser therapy. If the growth is too old, deeply germinated, or has certain characteristics that make it incompatible with laser removal, surgical removal may be necessary.
Warts can change over time, and the earlier you see a specialist, the better the chances of successful treatment. Timely referral and professional evaluation will determine the best treatment path and prevent possible complications.
We offer not only advanced methods using laser therapy but also professional medical support at all stages of the procedure. Our experienced specialists will help determine the best treatment plan, explain all aspects of the procedure, and provide support after removal.
