Foot Warts



Foot warts aka Plantar Warts

If you found a wart on your foot, congratulations, you have a plantar wart. Plantar warts range in size, but they are normally around 1-2cm in diameter.

Warts on the feet are most commonly found on children, but it’s not uncommon for adults to get them as well. Sometime you will see several warts grouped around one “main” wart, those are called Mosaic Warts.

Plantar wart treatmentntThe most common place to get a foot wart is in a shower, swimming pool, and or changing area. You can also get warts from direct contact.

If you have a wart on your foot and plan on going swimming you should do the responsible thing and cover your foot with a special sock so you don’t spread the HPV virus to others. Foot warts can be transmitted thru the water, so if you are going to a place where there is a lot of water such as a public swimming pool, or showering at a public shower you should take care to wear flip flops around any wet areas so that you don’t get warts on your feet.

If you want to treat the wart on your foot, you may have a significant challenge ahead of you.  You should always try to treat any wart as early as possible, as thy are contagious and spread rather easily.  There are ways to treat warts naturally, and in my experience it seems like the non medical methods actually work better than going to the doctor if you are consistent with your treatments.
