Warts On The Feet
These small growths of hardened skin are caused by a virus. They can be painful, especially when by a virus. They can be painful, especially when they develop on the bottom of your feet. Those are called plantar warts. For treatment, don’t try to treat warts yourself. Your doctor may remove the wart with a laser or by minor surgery, or use liquid nitrogen or a prescription topical. Although there are many over-the-counter wart treatments, you should only use them if your doctor advises it. You could accidentally mistake a wart for something like skin cancer and delay getting the right treatment, and some of those gels and liquids contain acids or chemicals that ,may destroy otherwise healthy tissue.
