The bottom of the foot is referred to as “plantar.” So, a wart on the bottom of the foot is called a plantar wart! It is also known as a planters wart or verruca plantaris. A wart can appear everywhere on the body, but a plantar wart appears solely on the foot.
Warts on the soles of the feet are a frequent occurrence. You must’ve had one or know someone who has, like your child. This condition is sometimes referred to as a verruca. It can appear as a single lesion, or sometimes, as an army of plantar warts taking over your entire foot. They are contagious and have the potential to spread throughout your home!
There is no medicine that can eliminate a plantar wart because it is a viral infection. Viruses are usually left to run their course. Similar to a cold, you do not treat the virus directly; rather, you treat the symptoms.
Plantar warts can be treated with a variety of over-the-counter medications. Each cure contains an active component that should help you get rid of your warts. Unfortunately, because they’re over-the-counter, they’re not always strong enough to get rid of the majority of warts. An OTC medication for warts that are still forming might be effective. Over-the-counter treatment is typically not the best option for bigger or multiple warts.
I’m sure you like having nice-looking nails. Acrylic nails are a popular choice for fingernails. Some stylists will also use them on your toenails. This may be quite inconvenient, and it has the potential to result in pain and infection.
Some people’s feet perspire more than others. We see a lot of sweaty feet in Houston because of the hot and humid weather. Sweating feet create an ideal habitat for fungus to thrive. In a warm, moist, dark shoe, fungus thrives and waits for an opportunity to infect the skin or toenails.
