Treating Foot Warts in Ronkonkoma & Shirley
Warts that occur on the bottom of your feet are called plantar warts. Often they occur on the areas of the foot that experience the most pressure, such as the ball of your foot or the heel. Because of the increased pressure to those areas from walking and physical activity, plantar warts in these areas often penetrate deep into the tissue and can be very painful.
Warts are caused by a virus known as human papilloma virus, or HPV. They can be spread in moist environments such as public showers, locker rooms and swimming areas, but not everyone who comes in contact with a plantar wart will develop one.
Diagnosis
Dr. Taormino will diagnosis a plantar wart based on physical exam and description of symptoms.
Treatment
Then Dr. Taormino will determine the best treatment plan for you; the usual choice of therapy is salicylic acid, which when applied daily eventually softens the skin layers of the wart so that it can be peeled off. This process may take several weeks or months.
Other treatment options for plantar warts include injection with medication, freezing them with liquid nitrogen, and removing them with surgery.
Dr. Taormino has had years of experience in treating plantar warts and will customize a treatment plan for you that will be as painless and effective as possible.
Without Treatment
Sometimes plantar warts go away on their own if left untreated. However, many warts can become increasingly larger and more painful and can begin to multiply into clusters of warts called mosaic warts. Walking and running will become difficult in these situations. Over time, some plantar warts can lead to a type of skin cancer.

Patient Testimonial by Kim M
Took my son here due to a wart on his food. Being that my son has autism, he gets nervous at some Dr appointments. I knew he would be at ease because the Dr is very calm and mellow. Even the music that is played in the office is soothing. I had gone for my heel spur so was familiar with the office. The woman that worked at the desk was very pleasant, too. Looking forward to my son's next visit at the end of the month.

Dr. T. is the absolute BEST! He was recommended to our family from a friend after hearing a long time foot issue that had not been treated by several other doctors in almost an entire year of pain and limping. Dr T. completely fixed the problem in 2 visits. He has since treated 3 of our family members with 3 different foot issues. Aside from Expertise in thorough and knowledgeable foot care and treatment, Dr. T. and his staff are professional, caring and kind. So very thankful to have found Quality Foot Care!!

Thank you to Dr T for helping my 8 year old with his plantar wart. We were treating it fir two months with no good relief. After just one visit and follow up treatment we finally got it resolved. The doc is soft spoken kind and very knowledgeable. Spends time with you and listens. He has also helped me with my plantar fasciitis. Highly recommend this office.
