Are you tired of dealing with pesky warts? We at Lincoln Park Podiatry are very excited to announce that we have a brand new and effective treatment for surface based skin lesions, primarily warts. Plantar warts; a common and stubborn Viral Infection “Plantar” means “Of the sole” in Latin. Unlike other types of warts, plantar warts are typically quite painful as the pressure from walking and standing forces them to grow into your skin. Like all warts, Plantar warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) virus, specifically types 1, 2, 4, 60, and 63. Underneath the skin, the wart can have finger-like roots that reach down and grow, making them very difficult to treat effectively from the surface.

Similar to a bunion, Hallux rigidus is a disorder of the big toe joint. It causes pain and stiffness in the joint, and with time, it gets increasingly harder to bend the toe. Hallux rigidus is actually a form of degenerative arthritis.

This disorder can be very troubling and even disabling since we use the big toe whenever we walk, stoop down, climb up or even stand. Many patients confuse hallux rigidus with a bunion, which affects the same joint, but they are very different conditions requiring different treatment.

Sometimes they are just unsightly, but sometimes they are painful.  We can help guide you on how to manage them.
