While calluses and plantar wart may sound like “twin” siblings at first, there are many differences between the two. One is the body’s own protection against friction, while the other is a viral infection that’s not going away anytime soon and can even spread and cause pain. Knowing the difference between the two will allow you to give your feet the treatment it truly needs.
If you find a patch on your feet that’s not responding to basic filing and creams, and hurts when pinched or has small black spots on it, it’s not a bad idea to consult a healthcare professional quickly. The sooner you do, the smoother the road to healthy and pain-free feet will be.
