Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I want to improve and make my feet normal. Please check my picture and give me a solution.

Answered by Dr. Payal Chauhan

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have plantar warts caused by the human papillomavirus (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There are a lot of treatments available, for some of them you need to visit the local dermatologist and others can be done at home. Start following medications. Kindly consult your doctor to discuss the suggestion and take the treatment with consent.

1. Capsule Zincaps 100 mg (Zinc sulfate) three times a day after meals.

2. Duofilm gel (Lactic acid and Salicylic acid) apply once at night for six weeks. It takes time to get improvement, use at least for six weeks.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Some of my friends said it is called corn. Please explain.

Answered by Dr. Payal Chauhan

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

These are plantar warts, not corn. Corn is thick skin due to constant friction, and a virus causes warts. I do not see any reason that others can diagnose a skin disease better than a dermatologist. I am sorry, but there is nothing to explain, we recognize something as common as plantar wart by looking at it.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
