Foot wart removal

Plantar warts are a viral disease, most often benign neoplasms that occur in most people, regardless of their age. They can appear both on the foot and between the toes. Sometimes (in 25%) they go away on their own, but in most cases, they need to be treated. Firstly, because they cause discomfort when walking, and secondly, being a viral disease, warts can infect family members or others in public places, such as a swimming pool, sauna, shower room.

What are the causes of heel warts?

Plantar warts are formed due to the human papillomavirus entering the body - they can become infected through microcracks on the skin, and almost every second person is a carrier of the virus.

For the virus to become active and cause the development of a noticeable wart, some predisposing factors must be present. These include:

wearing tight shoes, the appearance of corns;
increased sweating of the legs;
diseases that affect the state of immunity and the structure of the epithelium of the feet - diabetes mellitus, varicose veins, atherosclerosis;
skin injury;
visits to places of high humidity without rubber shoes, as well as visits to pedicure masters who do not disinfect tools well.

Do I need to remove a wart on my foot?

An indication for the removal of a plantar wart is pain, which can increase when walking, and also if the formation increases in size. The foot bears most of the weight, so the formations are inevitably compressed, the surrounding tissues are compacted, and the symptoms increase.

A decrease in the quality of life is the main reason for removal. In general, warts do not carry a high risk of developing complications, but it is important to see a doctor urgently if they bleed, grow rapidly, and pain appears at rest.
