Conclusion
If you think that you have developed a wart, do not despair. It is not an indicator of overall cleanliness and it does not relate
to kissing frogs. Plantar warts are among the most common foot problems that podiatrists see. If your doctor determines that you
indeed have a wart, he or she has an entire arsenal of effective treatment options from which to choose. If your wart seems to take
a long time to resolve, don't get discouraged. Most warts eventually resolve without treatment, and in children, the lesions often
times don't carry over into adulthood. A simple visit to your neighborhood podiatrist can answer any questions you have and get you
on a quicker road to recovery. Until then, keep your feet dry and wear flip-flops in your local public shower.
