Abstract

Plantar warts are benign growths caused by HPV. They are very contagious, painful and the recurrence of these lesions is usually high. Heat, poor hygiene or humidity increase the chances of infection. The usual site of appearance is on the soles of the feet. It is necessary to perform a differential diagnosis with corns. There are numerous treatments for its elimination, although the most used are usually acid and cryotherapy, both compatible with pediatric age. As a first option, acids are more curative, but require greater perseverance. The best way to treat them is prevention, maintaining good hygiene and taking care of the feet.
