Question 1

ask a health question...planter warts on feet?

Accepted Answer

What is the question: "plantar" actually means the sole of the foot.  Plantar warts are most commonly seen in this area and are caused by human papilloma virus.

Question 2

are flat warts on feet dangerous? will freckles turn to warts?

Accepted Answer

Not dangerous: Flat warts usually remain painless and cause no important health problems, but sometimes those on the sole of the feet can become larger &quot;plantar warts&quot;, which can be painful and more difficult to threat. If in doubt, see a doctor, preferably a dermatologist. Freckles do not become warts or vice versa; they are entirely different from one another.

Plantar warts: Plantar warts can be treated in a number of ways.  Over the counter liquid or plaster containing salicylic acid is often helpful.  Dermatologists can treat plantar warts by freezing with liquid nitrogen, applying a blistering medication to lift the wart off the surface of the skin, injections of medications that attract cells of the immune system and lasers to cut off blood supply to warts.

Question 6

how could i get this wart on my foot?

Accepted Answer

Virus: Plantar warts are viral infections of the skin on your feet.  The virus is very common and is spread by direct contact.  If you walk barefoot in public places such as at the gym or in locker rooms, you are at risk for picking up the virus.  Plantar warts may also spread to other locations on your feet.

Question 7

warts underneath foot.

Accepted Answer

Wart is from viruses: Vague question, but a wart is a lump on the skin caused by papilloma viruses (it sometimes spreads to others). A corn is a lump of dead skin material formed where there is repeated pressure or friction on the skin (happens without viruses). Both lumps can push into the bottom of a foot because on the sole, a person stands or walks on the lumps all day.

Question 8

are foot warts supposed to be painful, or is there something else going on?

Accepted Answer

Maybe something else: Foot warts sometimes cause pain. The pain can also be due to some other problem. Foot warts can cause pain by growing into the foot. This is more likely to happen if the warts are on the bottom of the foot. The person stands and walks on the warts, so they can't grow outward from the skin like a hand wart does. Instead, plantar warts have to grow into the foot and push up on foot tendons or bones.

Accepted Answer

Many ways: They can be frozen, topical acid, laser, surgical removal.
