Warts & Calluses
Wart
Plantar warts, originating from the HPV virus, result in minute cuts and lesions on the foot's underside. Although generally not severe, it's recommended to consult a doctor for examination and removal. Symptoms encompass small, rough lesions at the foot's base, localized calluses, and tenderness during prolonged standing or walking.
Calluses
While commonly viewed as a minor skin issue, calluses often signify underlying bone problems. Found predominantly on the heels, balls of the feet, and the outer side of the big toe, these formations possess nerve networks and fluid-filled sacs serving as cushioning. Consequently, they can induce discomfort over time due to their association with bone-related concerns.
