Verrucae, or plantar warts, are small, rough growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They typically appear on the soles of the feet and may have tiny black dots, which are clotted blood vessels. These warts thrive in moist environments like public pools, gyms, and locker rooms. While some verrucae resolve on their own, others persist and cause discomfort, especially when walking. Fortunately, effective verrucae treatments in Leesburg, FL, can safely remove verrucae and prevent them from spreading. People with weakened immune systems, frequent barefoot exposure, or skin injuries are at a higher risk of developing verrucae.
