Plantar Warts
Plantar warts are a type of skin infection on your feet caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Service Description
Plantar warts (verruca plantaris) are benign (not harmful) rough bumps that form on the soles of your feet. They develop when the human papillomavirus (HPV) enters a cut or break in your skin and causes an infection.
Plantar warts are common. Approximately 10% of people have plantar warts. Between 10% and 20% of children and teenagers have plantar warts.
Plantar warts may be painful. They may cause you to change how you stand, walk or run to avoid pain. Over time, these changes to your natural posture or movement may cause pain, discomfort or stress in the muscles, tissues or joints in your feet and ankles.
Plantar warts can also affect your mental health. You may feel self-conscious about their appearance and avoid going barefoot or wearing certain types of shoes or footwear, which may cause stress, anxiety or depression.

FAQs
Milia are small, white or yellowish bumps that commonly appear on the face, particularly around the eyes, cheeks, and nose. They are caused by trapped keratin (a protein) beneath the surface of the skin and are often mistaken for whiteheads. Milia are harmless but can be removed by a dermatologist using techniques such as extraction or microdermabrasion.
Moles, also known as nevi, are growths on the skin that are usually brown or black in color. They can vary in size, shape, and texture and are caused by clusters of pigmented cells called melanocytes. While most moles are benign, some may develop into melanoma, a type of skin cancer. It's essential to monitor moles for changes in size, shape, color, or texture and to consult a dermatologist if any concerning changes occur.
Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, are small, soft growths that hang off the skin. They are typically flesh-colored or slightly darker and often appear in areas where the skin rubs against itself, such as the neck, armpits, groin, or under the breasts. Skin tags are benign and harmless but can be removed if they cause irritation or cosmetic concerns. Removal methods include snipping, freezing, or cauterizing by a dermatologist.
