Here’s what you should know about getting board-certified Colorado Springs plantar warts care at Intermountain Foot & Ankle:

Plantar warts are caused by a superficial viral infection (human papillomavirus) of the foot’s sole, called the plantar surface. They can occur anywhere on the foot, but usually on areas subject to friction and rubbing. The wart usually causes a thick callus-like growth and can be painful if located in areas subject to pressure or weight-bearing.

Plantar warts usually go away on their own after months, but sometimes years. If a planters wart causes significant discomfort, it can be removed by any combination of paring, acids, laser, freezing, curettage and desiccation, surgery, oral medications, and immunotherapy. Some treatments may leave scar tissue.
