Wart Treatment

A wart is a skin lesion caused by the HPV virus that affects the top layer of the skin.

Although mostly harmless, they can be painful to walk on and can spread if not treated early.

There are many ways of treating warts, depending on their location and size.

Treatment options may include topical medication, debridement or excision. A chiropodist can help determine the best method for wart removal.

Risk Factors & Prevention

Although anyone can get plantar warts, you are at an increased risk if you:

  • Walk barefoot in public or on moist surfaces (e.g. locker rooms, swimming pools)
  • Have a weakened immune system 
  • Have had plantar warts before
  • Share objects that touch other feet (e.g. socks, shoes)

To help prevent plantar warts, you can follow these measures: 

  • Avoid touching warts
  • Wash your hands frequently, especially after direct contact with a wart
  • Keep your skin free of cuts
  • Wear footwear in public places and in showers
  • Avoid sharing objects that touched other people’s feet
