Frequently Asked Questions
Are foot warts contagious?
Yes. Plantar warts are caused by a virus and can spread via shared floors or skin contact.
Can I treat corns at home?
Mild cases may respond to pumice or creams, but deep corns often require professional removal.
Is every lump on my foot cancerous?
Not at all — most soft tissue masses are benign, but we recommend evaluation to be safe.
