Warts
Plantar warts are small growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), typically developing on the soles of the feet. They may appear as rough, raised spots and can be painful when walking or standing.
Warts are spread through direct contact and thrive in environments such as locker rooms, pools, and public showers. They are particularly common in children and teens but can affect anyone.
At In Motion Foot and Ankle, we diagnose warts through a clinical exam. Because they often resemble calluses or corns, professional evaluation ensures the correct treatment approach.
Treatment options include topical medications, cryotherapy (freezing), laser therapy, or minor surgical removal. Our clinic also emphasizes preventive strategies to reduce recurrence, such as proper hygiene and footwear.
By offering effective treatment and education, we help patients get rid of painful warts and return to their daily activities with confidence and comfort.
