Treatment Options for Plantar Warts

Plantar warts are small growths on the bottom of the foot caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They often appear as rough, hardened spots that may be tender when walking or standing. Warts can last for weeks or months and may darken if infected. Because they develop on weight-bearing areas of the foot, they can become especially uncomfortable and disruptive to daily activities.


At Lake Ridge & Stafford Foot & Ankle Specialists, we offer both conservative and advanced treatments for plantar warts. Depending on the severity, options may include topical medications, freezing (cryotherapy), burning (cautery), or minor in-office surgical removal. Our podiatrists will evaluate your case and recommend the safest and most effective treatment plan.


It’s important not to attempt self-removal, as this can worsen the problem or spread the infection. Instead, let our specialists provide expert care to relieve your discomfort and restore healthy skin.
