Warts

Warts, also known as verrucae, are small, non-cancerous growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).

Warts

While warts can develop on various parts of the body, they are common on the feet, especially the plantar surface (bottom) due to the warm and moist environment created by wearing shoes.

Blueprint Podiatry can assist in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of warts on the feet.

Are warts contagious?

Yes, warts are contagious and can spread from person to person through direct contact or by coming into contact with surfaces or objects that have been in contact with an infected person's wart.

Can I treat warts at home using over-the-counter remedies?

While over-the-counter wart treatments may be effective for some individuals, it is essential to exercise caution and follow the instructions carefully. Over-the-counter treatments are not always suitable for all types of warts, and improper use can lead to skin irritation or worsen the condition.

How long does it take to get rid of a wart with treatment?

The duration of wart treatment varies depending on the type of treatment used, the size and location of the wart, and individual factors. Some warts may resolve within a few weeks, while others may take several months of consistent treatment.

Can warts come back after treatment?

Yes, warts can recur even after successful treatment. Blueprint Podiatry can provide guidance on preventing recurrence and managing any potential new warts.

By seeking professional care from Blueprint Podiatry, individuals with warts can receive accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and comprehensive advice on wart prevention, helping them regain healthy and comfortable feet.
