Wart or Something Else?

By Todd Schafer

Many people come to my office with what has previously been diagnosed as a wart.

It ends up being something called an intractable plantar keratosis. That's a very complicated term for a "seed corn" which basically means you're putting too much pressure on an isolated area of the foot.

3 things to consider when deciding whether that lesion you have is truely a wart:
1.) Are you btw the ages of 15 and 30? Warts occur most often in this age group.
2.) If you pare down the lesion, do you get multiple areas of pinpoint bleeding? Warts do.
3.) If it hurts more when you press directly on the lesion you most likely have an IPK (intractable plantar keratosis). If it hurts more with side to side pressure, the lesion is likely a wart.
