Foot Problems
Foot Warts

Disclaimer

Foot warts are small, thickened areas on the bottom of the foot. They are caused by a virus.

  "easy to walk"
  

Foot warts occur almost exclusively during the earlier years of life — from early childhood to early adulthood.

A thickened callus is often formed over foot warts, and they can be extremely painful.


Podiatric Treatment

Treatment of foot warts by a podiatrist often consists of:

(1) protecting the areas of the foot warts from extra pressure.

(2) dissolving the wart with a topical agent.

(3) As a last resort, surgical removal of the foot warts by laser.
