Plantars Warts - Planter Wart Removal and Treatment Techniques


Definition

Plantars wart is also known as Verruca. Plantar warts are noncancerous skin growths on the soles of your feet caused by the human papilloma virus, which enters your body through tiny cuts and breaks in your skin. Plantar warts often develop beneath pressure points in your feet, such as the heels or balls of your feet. They are small lesions that appear on the sole of the foot and are typically cauliflower like in appearance. They may have small black specks within them that ooze blood when the surface is shaved; these are abnormal capillaries. Usually, Infection on the sole of the foot, infection by the virus is possible anywhere on the body and common especially on the palm of the hand, where the appearance of the wart is often exactly as described above for plantar warts. About 10 percent of teenagers have warts. Using a public shower or walking around the locker room in your bare feet after a workout increases your risk for developing plantar warts.

Causes

  1. Plantar Warts are easily spread by direct contact with a human papillomavirus.
  2. Each person's immune system responds to warts differently, so not everyone who comes in contact with HPV develops warts. Even people in the same family react to the virus differently.
  3. You may be prone to warts if you take a medication to suppress your immune system following a liver or kidney transplant operation or for treatment of some other disorder.
  4. You can acquire warts through person-to-person contact and indirectly from such places as a public shower floor or handling money.
  5. Planter wart can spread from one person to another by towel or even by using his or her bed.

Symptoms

  1. In planter warts there may be Small, fleshy, grainy bumps on the soles of your feet.
  2. There may also hard, flat growths with a rough surface and well-defined boundaries.
  3. Gray or brown lumps with one or more black pinpoints, which are actually small, clotted blood vessels, not wart seeds.
  4. There may be numerous small, smooth, flat lesions on forehead, cheeks, arms, or legs.
  5. There may be Rough, round, or oval lesions on soles of feet. They may be flat to slightly raise. There may be pain to pressure.
  6. Sometimes dark specks are visible beneath the surface of the wart.
  7. Multiple plantar warts can form in a large, flat cluster known as a mosaic wart.

Treatment

  1. Salicylic acid: It is used which peels off the infected skin a little bit at a time. Apply the solution once or twice each day, being careful to avoid healthy skin, which can become irritated from the acid. In between applications, pare away the dead skin and wart tissue using a pumice stone or emery board.
  2. Cryotherapy: Liquid nitrogen may also use to freeze the wart and hence they are removed.
  3. Minor surgery: This involves cutting away the wart or destroying the wart by using an electric needle in a process called electrodesiccation and curettage.
  4. Laser surgery: Doctors can use several types of lasers to eliminate stubborn warts. But laser surgery is expensive and painful and may take longer to heal than other treatments.
