Plantar Wart Removal

When it comes to plantar wart removal, a skilled professional employs various techniques to ensure effective treatment. Let me provide you with a detailed description of the procedures:

1. Diagnosis and Assessment:

   • You’ll start by seeing your primary care provider, who may then refer you to a foot care professional.

   • The specialist will examine the wart, assess its size, location, and severity.

2. Non-Invasive Treatments:

   • Salicylic Acid: Prescription-strength wart medications containing salicylic acid are commonly used. These gradually remove the wart layer by layer. You’ll have this apply the medicine at home by our foot care professionals. This method may take several weeks.

   • Cryotherapy (Freezing): In the comfort of your own home, liquid nitrogen is applied to the wart using a spray or cotton swab. This causes a blister to form around the wart, and the dead tissue sloughs off within a week. Repeat treatments may be necessary.

   • Cantharidin Blistering: Our specialists applies cantharidin, which creates a blister under the wart. After about a week, the dead wart is clipped off.
