What to expect when addressing your plantar warts at River Podiatry

After you have booked your appointment with River Podiatry, here are a few recommended tips to help you prepare for your appointment.

Bring a list of all medications you take regularly — including over-the-counter (nonprescription) medications and dietary supplements — and the daily dosage of each.

You should also bring a list of questions to ask our podiatrist such as:

• If I have a plantar wart, can I start with at-home care?

• If I proceed with home treatment, under what conditions should I call you?

• If the first treatment doesn't work, what will we try next?

• If the lesion isn't a plantar wart, what tests do you need to do?

• How long will it take to get results?

• What is the recovery process like?

• How can I prevent warts?

Along with coming prepared with questions for our team at River Podiatry, our podiatrists will typically ask the following questions:

• When did the lesion first appear?

• Has it changed in size or appearance?

• Have you had warts before?

• Is your condition painful?

• Do you have diabetes or poor sensation in your feet?

• Do you have any condition or take any medication that has weakened your ability to fight disease (immune response)?

• Have you tried any home remedies? If so, how long have you used them and have they helped?

• Do you use a swimming pool or locker room (e.g. areas that can harbor wart-causing viruses)?
