PLANTER WARTS

CAUSES OF PLANTER WARTS :
Plantar warts are skin growths caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. These warts mainly develop on the soles of the feet and can cause discomfort and pain. The transmission of the virus occurs through direct contact with contaminated surfaces, such as gym floors, swimming pools or saunas.

SYMPTOMS OF PLANTER WARTS : 
Plantar warts appear as flat growths on the soles of the feet and can cause pain when walking. Sometimes, they can be confused with calluses or other skin lesions. It is important to see a doctor or podiatrist for a correct diagnosis.

TREATMENT OF PLANTER WARTS :
Treatment of plantar warts can vary depending on the severity and persistence of the problem. A podiatrist might remove cornifications and suggest the application of a specific cream to protect healthy skin cells and speed healing. Cryotherapy, which uses cold to get rid of warts, is another common treatment.

PREVENTION OF PLANTER WARTS :
To prevent the appearance and spread of plantar warts, it is important to follow certain precautions in daily life, such as maintaining good personal hygiene, wearing appropriate footwear in public places, changing socks and shoes regularly, and not sharing towels or other personal items with people affected by warts.
