Different Treatments For Plantar Warts

Plantar warts are non-cancerous skin growths that grow on the soles of your feet. Plantar warts often develop beneath pressure points in your feet, such as the heels or the balls of your feet. Plantar warts often tend to grow into the deeper layers of the skin caused by the pressure they receive because of their location. Although most of the time plantar warts will not be a serious health concern, they can be incredibly bothersome and it’s best to get them taken care of as quickly as possible. Plantar warts should be treated in order to lessen and decrease the overall duration of the symptoms.

The main cause of plantar wart is the HPV, a DNA-based virus, which infects the skin and mucous membranes of humans. There have been over 100 types of HPV found, and some can cause warts on your hands, fingers, or near your fingernails while others are responsible for warts near your feet. Although the virus that causes plantar warts is not highly contagious, it does thrive in moist, warm areas such as shower floors, locker rooms and public swimming areas, so if you visit these sorts of areas frequently you should be careful in case of infection. Remember that everyone is different, and everyone’s body reacts differently to plantar warts, so not everyone who comes in contact with HPV will develop plantar warts.

Although you should always go to see a doctor if you think you may have plantar wart, you can generally tell whether that’s a wart or not by yourself. There are many ways to tell if what you have is plantar wart or not. For one, it will be a small, fleshy, grainy bump on the sole of your feet. It will typically be a hard and flat growth that has a rough surface and very well defined boundaries. It may also be a gray or brownish colored lump with one or more black pinpoints, which are actually very small clotted blood cells. At the same time, there are certain points at which you should seek medical help. For instance, you want to call your doctor if your simple home therapies fail to work.

Usually a physician will be able to adequately treat your plantar warts promptly and properly. And if treatment under a physician’s care fails to work satisfactorily, then you will be referred to a dermatologist. A dermatologist can make a proper diagnosis and give you the right treatment. Although plantar wart may not be potentially harmful to your health at all, it can still be incredibly uncomfortable and embarrassing, so you will obviously want to get it taken care of properly and promptly.

Unfortunately, there are few successful medical options available. Warts are classically treated with topical acid. Freezing the tissue with liquid nitrogen is also used. This causes a blister, as the blister heals the wart will hopefully come off at that time. In fact, warts may recur after treatment because of activation of latent virus present in healthy skin adjacent to the lesion. Most patients with warts require multiple treatments over a course of several weeks or months. If substantial improvements have not occurred after 3 physician-administered treatments or if complete clearance has not occurred after 6 treatments, a different treatment modality should be used. All medicines used to treat HPV disease are applied topically on cutaneous surfaces. Local skin reactions and pain are common adverse effects.

More difficult warts may have to be surgically excised or burned off. Surgically removing warts is the most common medical procedure. However, the patient is subject to a painful surgical intervention which results in skin damage/scarring along with the probability the warts will return. The theory of surgical intervention is that by cutting out the virus and causing tissue inflammation, the body will stimulate a mounted antibody response and prevent recurrence. However, this method often fails as doctors are not able to fully remove the virus which has lodged itself deep and throughout the dermal layers of the skin. As the virus is microscopic and particles under the skin are not visible, doctors can not possibly be certain if they have removed the entire wart or if viral microparticles remain.

WartCure provides a safe and effective alternative to this invasive and expensive treatment. It contains only certified organic anti viral extracts which have the demonstrated ability to not only kill the wart virus but also stimulate CD4 T-cells, those cells responsible for cleansing virus-infected cells. As a result, WartCure accomplishes what surgery attempts to achieve without any recurrence, discomfort or tissue damage.
