Plantar warts are caused by a virus, HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). You’ve probably heard about HPV in connection with cervical cancer. However, there are well over 100 subtypes of this virus, each connected to a specific papillomatous (“warty”) growth over a body surface. In this case, plantar warts are caused primarily by types 1, 2, 4, 27, and 57.
Dr. Krakow's introduction is meant as an overview of plantar warts, including the popular idea that applying duct tape cures plantar warts. The following chapters are in depth descriptions of topics mentioned previously, relating to plantar warts.
1. Plantar Wart
2. Human papillomavirus, the virus that causes plantar wart
3. Salicylic Acid, a common treatment for plantar wart
4. Bleomycin, a chemotherapeutic agent used to treat plantar wart
5. Imiquimod (Aldara)
6. Cryotherapy, freezing with liquid nitrogen
7. Calluses (clavi), a condition similar to a plantar wart
8. Corn (clavus)
