Patient Testimonial

My daughter (8) got a planter’s wart over the summer and we were recommended to Dr. Kalmar. He was very professional and made her feel comfortable. Since it is a very sensitive area he handled her with care and she wasn’t afraid to go back to him until it was healed. I hope this doesn’t occur again. But if it does we will be back in the office. Thank you for your professionalism and treating my daughter.

What are Plantar Warts?

Plantar warts are noncancerous growths that appear on the soles of your feet. They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which enters the skin through tiny cuts or breaks. Unlike other warts, plantar warts grow inward due to the pressure from walking and standing, often appearing flat with a rough surface and tiny black dots (which are actually clotted blood vessels).

Common Symptoms of Plantar Warts:

  • Rough, grainy growths on the soles of your feet.
  • Hardened, thickened skin (calluses) over the wart.
  • Pain or tenderness when walking or standing.
  • Black pinpoints within the wart’s surface.
  • Warts appearing in clusters (mosaic warts).
