Wart Removal in Randurg
If you are in Randurg or it’s surrounds, Yaseera Hajee Podiatry can assist with the removal of Plantar Warts, or warts on the sole of one’s feet which are skin growths associated with infections of the human papilloma virus. Warts can occur anywhere on the body but are more commonly found in one’s mouth, feet, hands, fingers, legs, knees and genetal areas.
Plantar warts often present as light brown, pimple-like bumps with small dark dots. Warts are transmissible through the use of towels or gym equipment, by trying out or fitting clothes or shoes at stores or through physical contact with a loved one.
Although a diagnosis can be made by a simple observation of the infected area, occasionally doctors might check for clotted blood, or a scraping of the area might be sent away for analysis.
Wart Removal – Treatment Options
A number of treatment options are available for painful plantar warts including chemical cautery which employs chemicals such as salicylic acid which has the effect of breaking down the tissue over time. This could take the form of using a patch or painting a treatment prescribed by your podiatrist on the wart. This option typically requires 6 to 8 treatments. Another option is Cryotherapy which involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen. Finally, minimally painful surgical excision with a local anaesthetic is also an option especially where a stubborn wart does not respond to previous treatments or if immediate relief is sought where the patient wants to be able to have the foot bear weight.
We also advise that patients maintain a good diet and take vitamin and mineral supplements in order to boost their immune system.
