Hello Doctor,
I've noticed tiny holes on the bottom of my foot. They don't hurt, but I'm concerned about what they could be. Can you help me understand what might be causing this?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Based on your description, these tiny holes on the bottom of your foot could potentially be plantar warts, which are caused by a virus that thrives in warm, moist environments. This can happen when the foot doesn't get enough airflow and is exposed to sweat for prolonged periods. It’s important to have a doctor examine it in person to confirm the diagnosis. During the examination, the doctor may take a skin scraping to identify the specific bacteria or virus causing the issue, which will help in providing the most accurate treatment. In the meantime, avoid wearing tight socks or shoes, as they can worsen the condition. Allow your feet to breathe and stay dry, as excessive sweating and odor can contribute to the problem.
Thanks
