1. Plantar wart

   A plantar wart, or verruca vulgaris, is a wart occurring on the bottom of the foot or toes. Its color is typically similar to that of the skin. Small black dots often occur on the surface. One or more may occur in an area. They may result in pain with pressure such that walking is difficult.They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). A break in the skin is required for infection to occur. Risk factors include use of communal showers, having had prior warts, and poor immune function. Diagnosis is typically based on symptoms.Treatment is only needed if it is causing symptoms. This may include salicylic acid, cryotherapy, chemo-based fluorouracil or bleomycin, and surgical removal. The skin atop the lesion should generally be removed before treatment. In about a third to two-thirds of cases, they go away without specific treatment, but this may take a few years. Plantar warts are common. Children and young adults are most often affected.

1. plantar wart

   A plantar wart is a hard, grainy growth that usually appears on the heels or balls of the feet, areas that experience the most pressure. This pressure also may cause the warts to grow inward beneath a hard, thick layer of skin known as a callus. Plantar warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).

1. Plantar wart

   A plantar wart is a wart caused by the human papillomavirus occurring on the sole or toes of the foot. Plantar warts are usually self-limiting, but treatment is generally recommended to lessen symptoms, decrease duration, and reduce transmission. Plantar warts are almost unknown in habitually barefoot cultures and people. This is because walking barefoot for extended periods of time strengthens the skin and keeps it dry and uncompromised as well as wearing off the virus through friction on the soles of the feet, preventing infection. While infection occurs in an estimated 7–10% of the US population; plantar warts tend to affect only 0.29% of people who have never worn shoes.
