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.
