Question 1

can you only get athletes foot in one toe on one foot, or is it plantar warts? i have small itchy clear bumps with clear liquid in them.

Accepted Answer

Not warts!: Yes, you can definitely get athletes foot on one or two toes. It's usually under toes that don't get completely dry after showering. Warts are hard, thick areas without liquid inside. What you describe sounds more like athletes foot. An over-the-counter antifungal cream might help.

Question 2

i have what i think is a plantar wart on pad of my foot below my toes. its itchy dry skin spot, my husband got them from his sister who got hers confirmed. it looks exactly like it. we have a daughter that crawls can she get them on hands/mouth?

Accepted Answer

Yes &amp; no: Warts are caused by strains of virus that are acquired from environmental exposure. Those strains that infect the skin/foot are specific to those skin types. They do not infect the mouth. Your husband may or may not have got them from a sister or just from a contaminated floor surface. The virus does not pass easily &amp; most occurrences are random. It is not like a strep germ.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Question 4

Question 5

are plantar warts on feet and warts on hands spread via surfaces? how careful do i need to be around someone who has plantar warts on feet that walks around barefoot and will not wear socks?

Accepted Answer

: Plantar warts are likely triggered by contact with the virus on floor surfaces/in the shower/et6c. The time between initial contact with the virus &amp; detection of the wart makes an understanding of when &amp; where it was acquired hard to know with certainty. I would just wear shoes around such a person &amp; sanitize any shared shower stalls after their use.

Question 6

plantar warts on my feet. is this common? what is the cause?

Accepted Answer

Caused by a virus: It is not uncommon and it is caused by a human papiloma virus in the outer layer of the skin of the sole
there are 100 types of hpv and only a few are known to cause plantar warts.

Question 7

is it normal to have a lot of plantar warts on one foot and none on the other?

Accepted Answer

Hmmmm...: Anything goes with plantar warts. Having said that, at your age, there is less of a chance of your problem being a wart. Have it evaluated to remove all doubt.

Question 8

help plz! can plantar warts cause a slight pit or hole in the bottom of your foot?

Accepted Answer

Good question.: warts are abnormal growths that occur within the outer layers of the skin. They protrude out on non weight bearing areas and are hard and indent the skin on weight bearing areas.  Pits or holes can be a sign of too much moisture in your feet.

Question 9

my son 7 yrs has plantar warts on the foot that wont go away, what should i do to clear it?

Accepted Answer

Warts: There are many different treatment options for warts... Mostly because nothing is guaranteed to work 100% of the time.  A physician may try things like salicylic acid, cantharone therapy, cryotherapy or surgical excision.  If a wart is resistant to different treatments, it might be a good idea to take a biopsy of the lesion to ensure that it is indeed a wart.

Question 10

how can i tell if i have plantar warts or just athletes foot?

Accepted Answer

See below: Plantar warts should appear bumpy, and be on the bottom of the foot. Athlete's foot is red, and usually appears on top of the foot in between the toes. Hope this helps!
