What could cause white spots on the skin of legs and feet?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen your query and concern and examined your picture (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity).

With your descriptions and given picture, it seems you have Verruca plana. Verruca plana, also known as a "flat wart", is a reddish-brown or flesh-colored, slightly raised, flat-surfaced raise papules caused by the human Papilloma virus. Wart occurs due to one of these reasons say pricking, thorn, or from another person if the virus gets into your skin. The virus stays there and slowly grows. Also, the wart is infectious i.e., after touching a wart if you touch it anywhere else you can get a wart there too. So the most important advice is "do not touch at all". Wart has to be removed as early as possible before it spreads much. It can be removed by radio frequency cautery which burns the wart and is removed or Co2 laser. Many creams and acids (TCA, SA) are also there to use but I consider cautery as the first line of treatment, as the chances of recurrence are less with it and the wart is removed in one sitting.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
