Mosaic warts are clusters of plantar warts that spread across the soles of the feet, often causing pain and discomfort with walking. These warts are caused by a viral infection that enters through small breaks in the skin. Over time, the warts can form a thick, hardened layer that is difficult to treat with over-the-counter remedies.
A podiatrist can offer targeted treatments to remove mosaic warts and help prevent their return. Treatment options may include cryotherapy, topical medications, laser therapy, or minor surgical removal. Addressing underlying skin damage and managing pressure points on the feet are also important to reduce recurrence. A podiatrist will evaluate your feet and recommend a personalized treatment plan designed to clear the infection while protecting the health of surrounding skin.
