Plantar Warts Treatment in Massachusetts
Get Rid of Plantar Warts — Fast, Safe & Effective
Plantar warts may be just a small rough lesion on the bottom of the foot, they can cause a big problem. These stubborn growths, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), often develop on weight-bearing areas of the feet, making every step uncomfortable.Â
At Central Massachusetts Podiatry, our board-certified podiatrists use the latest, proven treatments to help patients in Worcester, Westborough, and surrounding communities finally get relief.
What Are Plantar Warts?
Plantar warts are skin growths caused by viruses that appear on the bottom of the feet. They thrive in warm, moist environments like locker rooms, public showers, and swimming pools.
Common signs include:
- A rough, grainy lesion on the sole of the foot
- Tiny black dots (clotted blood vessels) within the wart
- Pain or tenderness when walking or standing
- Bleeding when the area is irritated
Because plantar warts can sometimes be mistaken for corns, calluses, or other lesions, a podiatrist’s evaluation is the best way to get a clear diagnosis.
When to Seek Treatment
The earlier you get treatment means faster recovery and fewer complications. You should see a podiatrist if you notice:
- Persistent pain that interferes with walking or daily activities
- Warts that spread or multiply
- Often bleeds or breaks open
- Uncertainty about whether the lesion is a wart or something else
- A weakened immune system or diabetes (higher risk for complications)
