PLANTAR WART MANAGEMENT
足底疣摘除术

Plantar warts, also known as verruca pedis, are small bumps that appear on the soles of the feet. They can grow up to an inch or more, forming clusters and spreading to other parts of the body. They are often pale in colour with grey or brown spots. They can also develop an uneven surface and a cauliflower-like texture over time.

Depending on its location, warts can cause great pain especially when weight or pressure is involved. This usually happens with warts growing at the ball of the foot or at the heel.

Causes

Warts develop when a contagious virus, Human Papillomavirus, (HPV), invades the skin via cuts or abrasions, growing into small bumps that appear anywhere on the skin. It is often picked up in common shower areas such as at swimming pools or gyms.

How can a Podiatrist help?

Podiatry treatment is one of the safest and least painful methods of removing warts.

• There are different treatments for warts but here at Physio & Sole Clinic, our Podiatrists will:
  • Thoroughly remove and debride the hard skin layers and wart tissue,
  • Apply cryotherapy to freeze the wart
  • Apply high concentration salicylic acid to destroy wart tissue and prevent recurrence.
• These treatment modalities are targeted to destroy the viral skin cells (warts) without damaging the surrounding healthy skin
• The application of cryotherapy will be painful, but it is usually bearable. It will feel sore for the first 2 days after treatment, but it will be significantly less painful after. You will still be able to walk and it should not affect your daily activities.
• As warts are notoriously stubborn to treat and have high recurrence rates, an average of 4-8 sessions of repeated treatment may be required for complete resolution.

How can you prevent it?

• Wear footwear in communal areas such as public showers, gyms, and poolside.
• Attend to any wounds on your foot promptly.
• Seek immediate intervention for skin lesions.
• Keep your skin hydrated and supple.

He politely gave suggestions on ways to manage the wart and after 4 sessions, I AM WART FREE, even though he said it will take about 4-6 session to clear it off.

My treatment required three sessions in total, and now that my foot has fully healed, I couldn’t be happier! :)Before starting, Toto and his team reviewed a photo of my condition and provided helpful information.

His calm and friendly approach made the entire process smooth and stress-free.I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a podiatrist!Margaret Cheah ★★★★★ I visited PSC Tampines because of a painful sole wart. Kelvin was empathetic, he thoroughly examined the spot and detailed a treatment plan to remove it. During the first 2 sections, he painstakingly removed thickened skin around the wound, followed by cryotherapy and cream medication on the spot. Kelvin also kindly treated another wart on my thumb though it was not his responsibility. Very happy to say that the pain went away shortly after treatment. Staff at the clinic are friendly and the environment is clean. A great clinic with wonderful medical professionals. Greatly appreciated!zhipng chew ★★★★★ Had treatment for plantar wart with Dr SK, extremely patient and comprehensive. Was advised at the start that the treatment would take 4to6 weeks to see results. Towards the end of the treatment he made the effort to have a last follow up session to ensure that the wart was completely gone. Great result overallYenPeng Goh ★★★★★ In June, I dealt with a wart on the sole of my right foot and initially thought I could manage it on my own. Unfortunately, it worsened, became inflamed, and made walking painful. I quickly looked for solutions online and found Physio and Sole, which was conveniently located and had great reviews of 4.9. I scheduled an appointment with Podiatrist Priscilla, who gently and thoroughly examined my wart. The entire process was comfortable, although the pain from the cryotherapy treatment was unavoidable. After three sessions, I’m happy to say my wart is completely healed! While the fees weren’t cheap, the excellent service made it worthwhile, so I have no complaints.Additionally, I want to thank Priscilla for being so patient with me throughout the process, especially since I was afraid of the pain during the sessions.Joelle Goon ★★★★★ “I had an excellent warts treatment experience with Dr Toto , his gentle approach and thorough care made me feel comfortable throughout my entire visit.
