Plantar Wart Removal and Direct Primary Care (DPC): Step Pain-Free, Personalized
Over 10% of people have these stubborn foot lesions, so you're not the only one who has trouble walking because of a plantar wart. But care that isn't coordinated can make treatment last longer. Direct Primary Care (DPC) changes this journey by giving you coordinated, effective support so you can walk comfortably again.
How to Get Rid of Plantar Warts: Targeted Solutions
HPV causes plantar warts (verrucas), which can be treated with cryotherapy, salicylic acid, or minor surgery. It usually takes more than one session to get rid of everything.
Important information for patients:
- Uses: Get rid of painful foot warts that don't respond to over-the-counter treatments.
- Safety: There is a low chance of scarring, but cryotherapy can cause temporary blisters.
- Costs: A session at a regular clinic costs between 100 USD and 500 USD, but DPC cuts those costs by 20% to 30%.
Risks of waiting for care:
- Warts spread to other people or places.
- Chronic pain that makes it hard to move.
- The cost of repeated treatments is putting a strain on finances.
How DPC Changes the Way Warts Are Removed
Direct Primary Care (DPC) works on a membership basis, with monthly fees of 80 USD to 150 USD. Members have unlimited access to a provider who makes sure they get thorough, ongoing care.
1. Correct diagnosis and treatments that are right for you
- Check to see if it's a wart or a corn/callus with a visual exam. If necessary, use dermoscopy.
- Choices for treatment: Choose cryotherapy, acid patches, or curettage based on where the wart is and how big it is.
- Kits for taking care of yourself at home: Give them salicylic acid or duct tape to use between visits.
2. Clear Costs and Ongoing Care
- Prices that include everything: There are no extra fees for sessions, acid applications, or follow-ups.
- Lower fees: DPC members pay between 80 and 400 USD per session, while the usual price is 500 USD or more.
- For warts that won't go away, try combining cryotherapy with immunotherapy (like Candida antigen).
3. Follow-up and prevention with kindness
- Access 24/7: If you see signs of an infection or new warts, message your provider.
- Foot hygiene coaching: Teach how to dry your feet properly, wear the right shoes, and be safe around pools.
- Monitoring for recurrence: Set up checks every 2 to 4 weeks until the problem is fixed.
