Nov 23, 2023

Welcome to The Foot Practice, your trusted source for quality podiatry services. If you're dealing with warts and corns, it's crucial to prioritize foot care to ensure long-term relief and prevention. Our team of skilled podiatrists specializes in treating these common foot conditions, helping you regain comfort and mobility.

Understanding Warts

Warts are small, non-cancerous growths that typically appear on the hands and feet. Caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), they commonly affect the foot sole or toes. Warts are contagious and can spread through direct contact or exposure to contaminated surfaces.

At The Foot Practice, our podiatrists have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating different types of warts. From plantar warts to common warts, we develop personalized treatment plans based on the severity and location of the growths.

Treating Warts with Advanced Techniques

Our commitment to providing cutting-edge podiatry services ensures that we offer the most effective treatments for warts. We implement various techniques, such as:

  • Cryotherapy: By freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen, we can destroy the affected tissue and encourage healthy skin growth.
  • Chemical Solutions: Applying specialized medications to the wart can help eliminate the viral infection and gradually dissolve the growth.
  • Laser Therapy: Using advanced laser technology, we can precisely target and destroy the wart while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.

Preventing Corns Through Proper Foot Care

Corns, on the other hand, are thickened areas of skin that develop due to excessive pressure or friction. They often occur on the feet, particularly the toes and soles, causing discomfort and pain during walking or running.

Our podiatrists emphasize the importance of proper foot care to prevent the formation of corns. Here are some essential tips to consider:

  1. Wear comfortable shoes that provide adequate support and cushioning to minimize pressure on the feet.
  2. Use protective pads or cushioning inserts to alleviate pressure on specific areas prone to corns.
  3. Maintain good foot hygiene by regularly cleansing your feet and applying moisturizer to prevent dry, cracked skin.
  4. Trim toenails properly to avoid ingrown toenails, which can contribute to corn formation.
  5. Visit a podiatrist for regular check-ups and professional foot care.
