FEETBUSTER FOOT CARE PRACTICE · KRAKÓW
Viral warts on the feet — consultation and treatment
Warts, commonly called “kurzajki” in Polish, can be painful when walking. We start by assessing the lesion and previous treatment before choosing the next steps.
First, an assessment
Warts are associated with a viral infection; they are not a fungal infection. Corns, warts and other skin lesions can look similar. If the diagnosis is uncertain, a dermatology consultation may be needed.
We ask how long the lesions have been present, whether they hurt, and about previous products and treatments. Tell us about reduced immunity, diabetes and medication. Before starting, we discuss the method available at the practice and its limitations.
Cryosthetics cryotherapy
One of the methods available at Feetbuster is local freezing of lesions with nitrous oxide. Find out what Cryosthetics cryotherapy involves, what it may feel like and how to care for the skin afterwards. We assess the lesion before choosing a method.
Appointment plan and follow-up
Wart treatment often requires several appointments. At follow-up visits, we assess the skin’s response and agree on the next steps.
The scope of treatment and advice between appointments are individual. Do not combine several products on the same lesion yourself. Tell the practice about severe irritation or other new symptoms.
Before your appointment
Do not cut or pick at the lesions. Do not share towels, socks or shoes. Wear your own flip-flops in shared areas such as showers and changing rooms.
Bring the names of the products you have used and tell us about previous treatments.
When to see a doctor
A lesion that bleeds, changes appearance, is very painful or persistently recurs requires a medical assessment. Do not delay if you are unsure what has appeared on your skin. NHS information about warts.
