Plantar warts

Plantar warts can be painful and persistent, making everyday activities uncomfortable. At Fulshear Foot & Ankle, Dr. Kunal Amin and Dr. Yumna Siddiqui provide expert treatment to safely and effectively remove warts and prevent recurrence.

What Are Plantar Warts?

Plantar warts are small, rough growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), typically developing on the soles of the feet. They often appear as thickened, callus-like spots with tiny black dots (clotted blood vessels). Due to pressure from walking, plantar warts can grow deep into the skin, causing pain or tenderness when standing or walking.

Symptoms of Plantar Warts

Plantar warts often develop on weight-bearing areas of the feet, causing discomfort and irritation. If you notice pain while walking, thickened skin with black dots, or rough lesions on your soles, you may have a wart that requires professional treatment.

  • Small, rough lesions on the soles of the feet
  • Pain or tenderness when walking
  • A hard, thickened skin layer over the wart
  • Tiny black dots inside the wart (clotted blood vessels)
  • Warts may spread or cluster in groups (mosaic warts)
