Plantar Warts treatment in Miguel Hidalgo

Plantar warts are skin growths that appear on the sole of the foot, caused by the human papillomavirus that affects the skin. Because of the pressure from walking, they tend to grow inward and can be bothersome.

Common symptoms: A thickened lesion on the sole, possible tiny dark spots on its surface, and discomfort or pain when putting weight on the foot.

Common causes: Contact with the virus on damp surfaces such as swimming pools or locker rooms, especially when there are small breaks in the skin.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist evaluates and manages this type of skin lesion, and the podiatrist can support foot care. If a wart causes you pain or does not go away, it is worth consulting a professional.
