What is Plantar Wart and What does it look like?
Foot Warts are small, thickened, and elevated growths on the skin caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). On the feet, these are often referred to as plantar warts.
They most commonly develop in areas subject to pressure and friction, such as the heel or ball of the foot. The pressure can cause the wart to grow inward beneath a thick layer of callus, often making them painful to walk on.
A characteristic sign of plantar warts is the presence of tiny black dots, which are actually clotted blood vessels and sometimes referred to as “wart seeds.” These are visible at the base of the lesion when the overlying callus is removed or thinned.
Causes of Plantar Warts
Plantar warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which enters the skin through tiny cuts, cracks, or weak spots—often in moist, warm environments like public showers, locker rooms, or swimming pool areas. Once the virus penetrates the skin, it triggers rapid skin cell growth, forming a painful, thickened lesion on the bottom of the foot. These warts thrive in areas under pressure, such as the heel or ball of the foot, and can become more uncomfortable over time. Although anyone can develop plantar warts, they are especially common in people with weakened immune systems or those who frequently go barefoot in communal areas. Early treatment is key to stopping the spread and relieving discomfort—don’t wait for the pain to worsen; explore effective, doctor-recommended treatment options now.

He is one of the few doctors to offer this advanced approach as a first-line treatment, giving patients a faster and more reliable path to clear, healthy skin.

What is the treatment of plantar warts?
Traditionally, plantar warts have been treated with over-the-counter salicylic acid, cryotherapy (freezing), laser therapy, or even surgical removal. However, these methods often fall short — they can be painful, require multiple sessions, damage healthy skin, and still result in frequent recurrences. Worst of all, they often treat only the symptoms, not the underlying virus. That’s where Swift Microwave Therapy comes in. Unlike traditional treatments, Swift delivers low-dose microwave energy below the skin’s surface to trigger a precise immune response that eliminates the wart at its source. It’s fast, clean (no cutting or chemicals), and has a much higher success rate with significantly lower recurrence. For patients looking for a safe, modern, and effective plantar wart treatment, Swift is the gold standard.
