Discover our effective plantar wart treatments
Plantar warts are small growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and typically occur on the sole of the foot. Plantar warts are characterised by hard, thickened skin with black dots and can be uncomfortable or painful when walking or standing. If you are experiencing bleeding, pain, interference with daily activities, or home treatments have not been effective, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our experienced podiatrists. Our team will assess your wart and medical history to create a customised treatment plan. At our Alexandria and Sydenham foot clinics, we offer four methods of plantar wart treatment.
