If a plantar wart makes every step agony, you’re not alone—over 10% of people suffer from these stubborn foot lesions. Yet fragmented care can prolong treatment. Direct Primary Care (DPC) transforms this journey by offering coordinated, effective support—so you can walk comfortably again.
Plantar warts (verrucas) are caused by HPV and treated via cryotherapy, salicylic acid, or minor surgery. Multiple sessions are often needed for complete removal.
Key facts for patients:
Uses: Eradicate painful foot warts unresponsive to OTC treatments.
Safety: Low risk of scarring; cryotherapy may cause temporary blisters.
Costs: Traditional clinics charge 100–500 USD/session; DPC reduces fees by 20–30%.
Risks of delayed care:
Wart spread to other areas or people.
Chronic pain impacting mobility.
Financial strain from repeated treatments.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) operates on a membership model (80–150 USD/month), providing unlimited access to a provider who ensures thorough, persistent care.
Visual exam: Confirm wart vs. corn/callus; use dermoscopy if needed.
Treatment options: Choose cryotherapy, acid patches, or curettage based on wart size/location.
Home care kits: Provide salicylic acid or duct tape for between visits.
All-inclusive pricing: No hidden fees for sessions, acid applications, or follow-ups.
Reduced fees: DPC members pay 80–400 USD/session vs. 500+ USD traditionally.
Combination therapy: Pair cryo with immunotherapy (e.g., Candida antigen) for stubborn warts.
24/7 access: Message your provider about infection signs or new warts.
Foot hygiene coaching: Teach proper drying, footwear, and pool precautions.
Recurrence monitoring: Schedule checks every 2–4 weeks until resolved.

The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) emphasizes early intervention. DPC delivers by:
Slashing wait times: 90% of patients start treatment within a week vs. 4+ weeks traditionally.
Reducing recurrence: 85% clearance rate vs. 60% with OTC alone.
Cutting costs: Members save 200–500 USD through bundled care.
Plantar wart removal isn’t just about zapping a lesion—it’s about restoring your ability to move freely. With DPC, you gain a partner who ensures persistent treatment, preventive strategies, and care that adapts to your needs. No gaps, no billing surprises—just confident strides forward.
