Common causes of foot warts
Foot warts are caused by infection with certain strains of the human papillomavirus. The virus enters through small cuts or breaks in the skin, often on the soles of the feet.
Warts are commonly picked up in communal spaces like swimming pools, gyms, or locker rooms. The virus thrives in warm, moist environments.
People with a weakened immune system are more prone to developing warts and may find them harder to remove.
Cuts, scrapes, or pressure points on the feet can make the skin more susceptible to HPV, increasing the chance of plantar wart development.
Constant moisture from sweat or tight, ill-fitting shoes can create an ideal environment for warts to grow, especially on weight-bearing areas like the heel or ball of the foot.
Touching existing warts, either on yourself or someone else, can spread the virus and cause new warts to appear.

Wart Treatment FAQ
What is a plantar wart?
Plantar warts (verruca) are small growths that appear on the bottom of your foot. They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which makes skin cells grow abnormally.
Over time, these abnormal cells form painful, dry patches.
What wart treatments do you offer?
At Foot HQ, we provide a variety of plantar wart treatments, including professional wart removal procedures and laser therapy. Each treatment is tailored to your needs to reduce pain, speed up recovery, and lower the risk of recurrence.
How is plantar wart removal performed?
Plantar wart removal is done under local anaesthetic by an experienced podiatrist. There are two methods: the excisional method removes the entire wart and surrounding tissue, while the incisional method removes only the top layer. A painless silver nitrate solution is then applied to kill the virus.
What are the benefits of wart removal?
Treatment can remove warts quickly, reduce pain and discomfort, improve appearance, lower the risk of scarring, and is ideal for stubborn or recurring warts.
Why not freeze it off?
Cryotherapy kits that claim to freeze off warts are often ineffective. Even medical-grade cryotherapy performed by doctors cannot penetrate the thicker tissue on the soles of the feet.
How long does the procedure take?
Both removal methods typically take between 30 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the size of the wart. This procedure is recommended for people experiencing discomfort or pain from their warts.
How do I book an appointment for wart treatment?
You can book a professional wart treatment appointment directly through our website or by calling us. Our podiatrists will assess your warts and recommend the most suitable treatment for your specific situation.
