Plantar Warts

What is a Wart?

A wart is a skin growth caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The virus causes an excessive amount of keratin (a hard protein) to form in the top layers of the skin. Warts are contagious and can spread through direct or indirect contact.

What to do?

Warts can be treated in several ways from home treatment to in office using a variety of compounds. All treatment options are discussed at the time of assessment.
