Overview
Plantar warts, also known as verruca plantaris, are skin growths caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They commonly develop on weight-bearing areas of the feet, particularly the heels and balls of the feet. Unlike ordinary calluses, plantar warts may interrupt normal skin lines, contain small pinpoint blood vessels, and cause discomfort when walking or standing.
Plantar warts can be stubborn because HPV infects cells within the outer layers of the skin. Traditional treatments, including topical medications and cryotherapy, aim to destroy affected tissue but may require multiple sessions, and recurrence is possible.
Exclusively Available at
Boca Raton Foot & Ankle Specialists
At Boca Raton Foot & Ankle Specialists, we offer advanced treatment options, including the REMY Class IV laser, for patients with persistent or recurrent plantar warts. Laser therapy delivers targeted energy to affected tissue and may offer an alternative to conventional wart treatments. Treatment effectiveness, discomfort, and the number of sessions needed vary depending on the size, depth, location, and number of warts. Our goal is to address the affected tissue while minimizing disruption to surrounding healthy skin and helping patients return comfortably to their daily activities.
