A plantar wart usually appears as a circular lesion on the sole of the foot, often rough and thickened. It may be accompanied by small black dots in the center, which are actually blood vessels. Pressure exerted when walking can cause significant pain, particularly when pressing on the affected area. Some patients describe a sensation of a foreign body under the foot, as if stepping on a pebble.
Without proper treatment, plantar warts can spread and multiply. It can also cause changes in gait to avoid pain, potentially leading to postural problems. In diabetic or immunocompromised people, the risk of complications is higher, requiring prompt medical attention. Spread to other parts of the body or to other people is also possible without adequate treatment.

A plantar wart is a skin growth caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It appears as a circular lesion on the sole of the foot, often rough and thickened, with small black dots in the center. It can be painful to the touch.
Plantar warts are caused by HPV, which penetrates the skin through small cuts or softened areas. Contamination often occurs in damp places such as swimming pools or changing rooms. A weakened immune system can encourage their development.
Several treatment options are available: cryotherapy, which freezes the wart, and salicylic acid, which gradually removes it. Treatments are generally repeated at regular intervals until the desired end result is achieved. The choice of treatment depends on the size and location of the wart.
Cryotherapy may cause slight discomfort during treatment and for a few hours afterwards. The number of sessions varies according to the size and resistance of the wart, generally between 2 and 5 sessions spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart.
Side effects may include mild pain, temporary blistering or local sensitivity. In rare cases, scarring may occur. These treatments are generally safe when performed by a qualified physician.
Although over-the-counter treatments are available, they are often less effective and can take longer. For optimal treatment and to avoid complications, we recommend consulting a doctor, who can suggest a suitable solution.
It's advisable to consult a doctor as soon as you notice a plantar wart, especially if it's painful, if it's growing, or if you have particular medical conditions such as diabetes. Early attention means more effective treatment.
Yes, recurrences are possible, as the virus can remain in the body. Good foot hygiene and preventive measures can reduce this risk. In the event of a recurrence, further treatment may be required.
Treatment duration varies according to the method chosen and individual response. Cryotherapy can take several weeks, while salicylic acid treatments can take several months.
People with diabetes or who are immunocompromised should seek medical advice for the treatment of plantar warts. These conditions require special attention and regular medical monitoring to avoid potential complications.
To prevent plantar warts, wear sandals in common wet areas, keep your feet dry, avoid walking barefoot in public places, and don't share personal items like towels or shoes. Good foot hygiene is essential.
