Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- As per your description and photograph (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it seems that you have a plantar wart on your feet.
- You do not need to worry as it is a harmless condition and effective treatment options are available.
- I suggest you consult a dermatologist for expert opinion.
- As a first line management, I suggest you apply some keratolytic ointments containing Salicylic acid. If it is not effective, then you might require a minor procedure called cauterization to remove the lesion.
Investigations to be done:
Biopsy.
Probable diagnosis:Treatment plan:
Cauterization.
