Overview

Although immunization is available for the HPV and strains causing cervical cancer and venereal warts, there is currently no vaccination treatment for plantar warts.

Prevention

  • Avoid walking barefoot in public areas such as showers, communal changing rooms. (Covering with an adhesive bandage is not a safe method as it will not last for long at all, especially while showering or swimming)
  • Change shoes and socks daily.
  • Avoid sharing shoes and socks.
  • Avoid direct contact with warts on other parts of body.
  • Avoid direct contact with warts on other persons.
