Why do Warts Grow on the Feet?

Warts are caused by a virus, and the feet are a common location for the growth of warts. Warts thrive in warm, moist environments, like our shoes and socks. Additionally, gyms, pools, and locker rooms are places were warts can be spread, as these locations are often warm and wet! It is important to keep your feet dry (powder, changing socks frequently, etc). Additionally, wearing sandals around the pool and shoes in locker rooms is essential. If you have a funny growth on the skin of your foot, it may be a wart! Give us a call-708-763-0580.
