What is verruca pedis?
Plantar warts otherwise known as Verruca Pedis appear as clumps of rough skin. Verrucae are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), this virus causes changes in skin cells. Verrucae's may occur anywhere on the body, however, it is most common on feet and hands. As it is a virus it may spread resulting in several in the same area or verrucae's across different areas of skin. Treating verruca's can be challenging as it often involves the immune system.
Why see a podiatrist for verrucae removal?
It is important to see a podiatrist to manage verruca removal if you have medical conditions such as diabetes, neuropathy, and poor circulation which may affect your ability to heal. The podiatrist can then safely treat verrucae's on feet.
You should not attempt to remove a verruca on your feet on your own without a podiatrist due to the risk of infection and poor healing. Podiatrists remove warts routinely and are foot health experts.
