Plantar Wart
(3 discussions)
Hello!
I had a plantar wart removed below my toes on the arch of my foot.
It has been five days and I am still in a lot of pain.
It doesn’t seem to be healing properly.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks!

You did not indicate how you were taking care of the surgical area. I might point out that it will take several weeks for the area to fill in on the bottom of the foot. If you are bearing too much weight on it, maybe using crutches might help. Have you spoken to your doctor?

Bottom of my right foot is very painful with weight on and off of it – pain is inside and located at the ball of my foot. Is this a plantar wart? What else might it be? Thank you

You hsve not indicated that there is a discrete lesion on the foot. A wart takes over an area of skin and changes it. If there is nothing on your skin and the pain is inside there are a number of other possibilities such as a bone spur or a neuroma. I recommend you see a podiatrist for further evaluation.
