Get rid of embarrassing foot warts with this new treatment. Explore the advanced Swift treatment and learn how it can effectively remove plantar warts.

The Advanced Swift® Treatment for Foot Warts

A treatment referred to as Swift is a new protocol for warts that provides patients with significantly safer, more effective, and faster results for wart removal than previous methods, such as using cryotherapy or peeling chemicals. The procedure takes just a couple of seconds. We deliver low-power microwave energy to the layers of skin that surround the wart with the use of a handheld tool. The microwaves vibrate water molecules producing friction and heat, which in turn, stimulate the immune system.

This is vital because the immune system typically ignores the skin where warts tend to form, which is why they take so long to go away when left untreated. But with the Swift method, you direct your body’s attention precisely where it needs to be, and help it rapidly build up an immunity to the virus that is causing your wart. Apart from minor discomfort during the application, the Swift treatment is not painful and should not produce any lasting symptoms. No anesthetic is needed, no follow-up care or downtime is necessary, and most patients only require a single treatment.

Can Foot Warts Be Treated At Home?

Patients should not try to treat these growths on their own, especially if they have diabetes. If you notice a wart during your daily foot examination, cover it with a clean bandage to stop the virus from spreading and contact the office immediately to schedule an appointment.

If you don’t have an autoimmune condition, you can try at-home treatment practices if you choose. These treatments include OTC kits sold in pharmacies and retail stores. When using these kits, be sure to take safeguards to protect unaffected skin from the acid contained in them.

How to Get Rid of Mosaic Warts

All warts stem from the same human papillomavirus (HPV), but they don’t all look and feel the same. Common warts can be small or large, rough in texture, and often have a cauliflower-like appearance. Mosaic warts, on the other hand, appear in clusters and can cover a larger area of the foot.

Mosaic warts can be more challenging to treat than other types of warts. The board-certified podiatrists at CarePlus Foot & Ankle Specialists, Dan Preece, DPM and Darren Groberg, DPM, have expertise in effectively treating this type of wart.

One of the key differences between mosaic warts and other types of warts is that mosaic warts often have deeper roots. This means that they may require more aggressive treatment to fully eliminate the wart and prevent it from returning. The podiatrists may utilize a combination of in-office cryotherapy, prescription topical medications, and other advanced treatment methods to address the deeper roots of mosaic warts.

If you suspect you have mosaic warts on your feet, it’s important to seek professional medical treatment from a qualified podiatrist. Attempting to treat mosaic warts at home can be challenging and may lead to the wart spreading or becoming more difficult to remove. Schedule an appointment with the experts at CarePlus Foot & Ankle Specialists to get an accurate diagnosis and develop an effective treatment plan.

How to Get Rid of Mosaic Warts: Dan Preece, DPM & Darren Groberg, DPM: Board Certified Podiatrist Foot & Ankle Surgeon

All warts stem from the same human papillomavirus (HPV), but they don’t all look and feel the same. Common warts can be small or large, round or oval, rough or smooth, and they most often appear on the hand and fingers, but you might also notice them on your knees, elbows, and ankles. 

When warts show up on the bottom, or plantar side, of your feet, they can be quite painful every time you take a step. Some people describe them as a pebble in their shoe that never goes away.

So how do you make a plantar wart go away? At Dan Preece, DPM, and Darren Groberg, DPM, a branch of Utah Musculoskeletal Specialists in Salt Lake City, Utah, we provide several effective treatments to banish these particularly tough-to-treat warts. As board-certified podiatrists, we have extensive skill and experience to accurately diagnose and safely eliminate all types of plantar warts.

All about mosaic warts

Rather than popping up as a single wart, mosaic warts form a cluster of warts on the bottom of your feet in a pattern similar to mosaic tile, hence the name. They tend to appear on the ball or heel of your foot where you apply the most pressure when you stand and walk.

Symptoms of mosaic warts include:

• Thickened skin that you might mistake as a callus
• Pain when you stand or walk
• Small black dots in the middle of each wart

Those dots are evidence that blood vessels have grown into the center of the warts and burst. To the untrained eye, a mosaic wart may look a lot like a callus or a corn, but our podiatrists can let you know exactly what you’re dealing with.

Mosaic warts grow deep into the layers of your skin, which is one of the reasons they can be so painful, and also the reason they can be difficult to treat.  

How you got mosaic warts

Like all warts, mosaic warts are highly contagious. You likely got your wart after coming into contact with someone else who has a wart or by touching a surface where the HPV virus lurks. This virus easily enters any breach in your skin, like a cut or abrasion, and it hangs out on surfaces such as gym floors, pool decks, towels, socks, and shoes. 

If you touch your mosaic wart and then touch another part of your body — or someone else’s — the warts can spread. The HPV virus thrives in warm, moist environments, so keeping your feet and footwear clean and dry helps you prevent plantar warts. 

How to get rid of mosaic warts

Dr. Preece and Dr. Groberg approach mosaic warts with the most conservative treatments first, and progressively incorporate more assertive techniques if your warts don’t respond. Here are several types of treatments that may get rid of your mosaic warts. 

Topical medications

There are some over-the-counter remedies that may diminish some types of warts, such as salicylic acid and at-home freezing kits, but they typically don’t work for stubborn mosaic warts. We can prescribe prescription-strength topicals that slow or stop the cells in the warts from replicating. 

Acid treatments

In the hands of professionals like Dr. Groberg and Dr. Preece, salicylic acid can be an effective treatment for plantar warts. Our higher strength formula is 55% or higher, compared to the OTC version, which is only 17%.

We start this treatment by debriding, or filing away, some of the surface of the wart, then we apply the acid. Over time, the wart shrinks and eventually disappears. 

Oral medication

In some cases, it’s best to attack the warts from the inside out, so we may prescribe oral medications such as cimetidine, a drug normally used to treat acid reflux. Studies show it may improve your cellular immunity and retard the progression of your warts. Oral retinoids and other dietary supplements may also support your treatment plan.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is a method of freezing your wart using liquid nitrogen. Once exposed, the warts blister and then peel away or fall off. If your mosaic warts are very deep, the cryotherapy may be painful and may not reach the roots of the warts.

Laser therapy

For many years, the aesthetics industry has used the power of light to solve a wide variety of skin issues, and one of them comes in handy in the treatment of warts as well. Pulsed dye lasers, also known as Nd:YAG lasers, can remove the upper layers of skin in very precise sections, which makes them effective at removing scar tissue and warts.

Surgery

If none of the more conservative treatments get rid of your stubborn mosaic plantar warts, we may recommend surgical removal to excise them and eliminate them completely. 

If you have painful warts on the bottom of your feet, don’t live with them — schedule an appointment with Dr. Preece or Dr. Groberg and get rid of those warts for good. Call us at 801-285-6332 or book your appointment using our online scheduling tool today.

Removal of warts on the legs – CIDC

Benefits:

Accurate diagnosis

Individual approach to the choice of treatment method

Delicate attitude to the treatment process

More about the procedure

Plantar warts are quite common. This is a viral neoplasm, which is a growth of the epidermis, which has clear edges and, most often, a dark dot in the center. The wart on the leg can have a different shade from milky white to brown.

The occurrence of warts is justified by the presence of the human papillomavirus, which almost everyone has, but is activated for various reasons, most often due to a decrease in immunity, and can also be transmitted through direct contact (in a pool, bathhouse, etc.).

You can remove a wart on your leg quite quickly and comfortably, the main thing is not to delay this process, because. the stem of the wart can grow deep into the foot, which complicates the treatment process and causes great discomfort.

Indications

• Presence of warts on the foot
• Bleeding in the wart area
• Pain when walking
• Rapid growth of wart
• Pigmentation disorder, uneven shade formation

Contraindications:

• Pregnancy and lactation
• Child age
• Oncology
• Chronic diseases in the acute stage
• Diabetes mellitus in the stage of decompensation
• Epilepsy

Removal of warts on the legs in the clinic “Narvskaya” in St. Petersburg

Laser removal

Contents

Warts on the legs are skin growths. most often they are formed due to the human papillomavirus penetrating into the body. There are at least a hundred such viruses, and dozens of them can cause the development of such growths. Removal of warts is inevitable if this formation begins to bother.

The mechanism of formation of warts on the legs is as follows. The virus, penetrating inside, causes a thickening of the upper layers of the skin in certain parts of the body. When we talk about growths on the legs, we mean flat warts. These are benign neoplasms, which, as a rule, do not cause serious harm to the body and do not pose a danger. Moreover, flat warts on the legs remain invisible for a long time, and in most cases go away on their own within two to three years. Their development is asymptomatic and painless for patients.

The main localization of warts is the feet, toes, the area near the nails. The most common varieties are plantar growths. To a greater extent, children and young people from twenty to thirty years old are susceptible to the disease. Elderly patients are characterized by other types of human papillomavirus with the formation of genital warts and growths in the groin, on the neck and even on the face.

Causes of warts

The main reason for the spread of warts on the legs, as noted above, is infection with the human papillomavirus. This disease is transmitted from person to person through the skin. Another route of spread is sexual. Anal, oral and vaginal sex most often lead to the development of warts on the legs.

According to medical statistics, human papillomavirus (HPV) carriers are from 70% to 90% of the world’s population. However, the spread of the virus is not always associated with the appearance of warts on the legs. In some cases, the disease may be asymptomatic.

Another fact is also interesting. It is impossible to reliably say when exactly the patient became infected with the human papillomavirus. The disease can manifest itself after weeks, months and even years.

The spread of HPV and the formation of warts on the soles of the feet and on the toes can be caused by a general decrease in immune protection – for example, during pregnancy and lactation, as well as after a respiratory illness, as a result of exacerbation of certain chronic ailments and infections. Stress, insomnia, a sedentary lifestyle, neglect of the rules of hygiene, microtrauma of the skin – all this can also be considered factors provoking the appearance of warts.

Methods of removal

To date, there are no effective drugs for the treatment of warts on the legs. And if after some time the growths do not go away or worsen the quality of life of patients, surgical removal of papillomas is indicated. For this, several methods are used – for example:

• laser removal;
• cryodestruction, that is, cauterization with liquid nitrogen;
• radio wave surgical method;
• electrocoagulation – destruction of skin formations by electric current;
• excision with surgical instruments.

The choice of method for removing a wart depends on the individual characteristics of the body, patient preferences, location and size of skin growths. In any case, surgical intervention is carried out strictly for medical reasons – for example, if the patient experiences severe pain while walking, the wart is damaged and bleeds, it began to grow and change its color.

Advantages of laser removal

If we talk about the safest, simplest and painless procedures for removing warts on the legs, then this is laser technology.
