Plantar warts (verruca pedis) appear as painful, grainy, rough and fleshy growths with black pin points. They can often be mistaken for corns, however their cause and treatment is quite different.

​

Plantar warts are caused by the human papilloma virus. There are various treatment options on the market including laser therapy and salicylic acid based ointments. Unfortunately, these treatment options cause the warty tissue to become more inflamed and more painful before healing can commence.
