Neuromas are enlarged, benign growths of nerves, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. They are caused by bones and other tissue rubbing against and irritating the nerves, whose anatomy at that location is unusual. Abnormal bone structure or pressure from ill-fitting shoes also can create the condition, which can result in pain, burning, tingling, or numbness between the toes and in the ball of the foot. Warts are caused by a virus, which enters the skin through small cuts and infects the skin. Children, especially teenagers, tend to be more susceptible to warts than adults.
Most warts are harmless and benign, even though painful and unsightly.
Warts often come from walking barefooted on dirty surfaces or littered ground. There are several simple surgical procedures which your podiatric physician might use to remove warts. DPM - All rights reserved.
