To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download Do fleas cause plantar warts? I had a lump on my foot. I figured it was a blister. It lasted too long so I looked at it close and found it to have fleshy pin-sized sections and one of them looked like a flea that was attached. I cut the flea in half but should have seared it with a matchhead first. The next day there were two dark pieces like half a flea size. I thought the flea was having flea babies or something; so I smeared it in Balmex (a diaper rash ointment). The lump got smaller but the dark spots multiplied. I wondered if I was growing fleas. I poked the lump with a pin and tweezers and added more Balmex. The poking didn’t help but the Balmex seems to soothe the foot and the lump seems to be getting smaller. I was hoping I was smothering the flea “babies”. Then I found out that this is the symptom of plantar warts Could fleas transfer this virus? So far the Balmex is working but I may be visiting a poditrist soon. Comments
