Verrucae (WART) treatment – SWIFT technology

Are you sick of dealing with those pesky warts? Well, PRINE Podiatry is here to inform you of their brand new, effective Swift Technology used to treat and prevent the emergence of warts. Verrucae, also known as plantar warts, is a common foot issue people deal with regularly.

It can often be embarrassing and challenging to cover up these warts due to their appearance and placement. Most often, patients will get these warts on the bottom of their feet or the balls of their heels. Luckily, you don’t have to be embarrassed any longer!

What Happens To A Plantar Wart If Left Untreated?

Have you recently begun to develop a plantar wart? If you’ve been thinking about leaving it unchecked in hopes that it will go away on its own, you’re likely making a mistake. At PRINE Health, our team knows the issues that can come from doing this. To learn more about what can happen if you leave a plantar wart untreated, continue reading.

WHAT IS A PLANTAR WART?

Before diving into what can happen if it is left untreated, Dr. Hochstein, our expert podiatrist in great neck, would like to provide more information on what a plantar wart actually is. A plantar wart is a small growth that typically occurs on your heels. This growth develops when the HPV virus finds a way to enter your skin. Concerning the growth, additional symptoms that point to the development of a plantar wart include:

WHEN LEFT UNCHECKED

As previously stated, leaving a plantar wart untreated can lead to serious issues. Plantar warts are highly contagious. Once one develops, if left unchecked, it can quickly spread to other parts of your foot. Soon, you’ll have multiple warts to deal with instead of just one. Additionally, the warts or area around them may become infected, leading to serious issues.

TREATMENT

Here at PRINE Health, our team is well versed in dealing with issues such as plantar warts. Our podiatrist in great neck Dr. Hochstein can perform a full evaluation on your foot to help determine which intervention method will yield the best results. Depending on the severity of your plantar wart, treatment methods can include:

Dr. Alec Hochstein takes patients from start to finish when it comes to wound care. He is not satisfied until the wound is completely healed. His methods of treatment for non-healing diabetic ulcers is notable. I approached Dr. Hochstein in August of 2014, with a persistent non-healing Diabetic Ulcer. The Ulcer was deep and rather large, To date the Ulceration is microscopic thanks to the wound care treatment that was received. I'm able to live a Happy and Healthy Life thanks to Dr. Alec Hochstein and his team of employees. I highly recommend this provider for any foot care or wound care needs.

Melissa K.

My son had an ingrown toenail and we needed an urgent appointment. We were seen on the same day. The receptionists were very welcoming and friendly and we saw the doctor within a few minutes. The doctor was friendly, competent, diagnosed the problem correctly, and operated very diligently. Extremely pleased and highly recommended.
