Plantar warts are common skin growths that develop on the soles of the feet. Caused by certain strains of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), they can spread through direct contact and are often contracted in warm, moist environments such as swimming pools and changing rooms.

While some plantar warts resolve on their own, many are resistant to over-the-counter treatments. Persistent warts often require professional care, including clinical-strength therapies and advanced procedures such as verruca needling, to achieve successful and long-lasting results.
