Plantar wart

Sound familiar?

Signs that bump is a wart.

i.A small, rough growth on the sole, sometimes mistaken for a callus

ii.Tiny black pinpoint dots at the surface

iii.Pain when you squeeze it from the sides or walk on it directly

iv.One wart slowly becoming several

v.Months of over-the-counter treatments with nothing to show for it

How we treat it

First confirm it. Then clear it.

Not every bump on the sole is a wart; corns and calluses are common impostors with completely different treatments. Your visit starts with a proper diagnosis, then the right plan for clearing it.

At-home care, with guidance

Topical treatments

A topical treatment may be part of your plan. We'll discuss which product is appropriate, how to use it, and when to return so we can review your progress.

Expert hands

Professional debridement

Careful removal of thickened surface skin can be part of your wart care. Dr. Farooqi will explain how debridement fits with topical treatment or another option.

SWIFT microwave therapy

SWIFT is one of the treatments available in our office. We'll discuss whether it suits your case, what a session involves, and the follow-up plan before you decide.
