Plantar warts are a type of wart that is quite common, particularly in children. They can appear anywhere on the body, though they are more commonly found on the feet. Warts are often picked up from gym or dojo mats, recreational centers, swimming centers and other areas where people are in bare feet. Just about everyone will have experienced a plantar wart at some point in their lives, which be very hard to eradicate. They are generally flat, as opposed to traditional warts that are bulbous in nature.

Plantar warts are noncancerous skin growths that are caused by a viral infection on the top layer of the skin, particularly from a strain of the human papillomavirus (HPV). This is not the same kind of virus strain that causes genital warts. As uncomfortable and unsightly as plantar warts are, they’re generally not harmful. However, they can cause discomfort, which warrants some form of treatment to get rid of them. Without treatment intervention, these plantar warts can grow and spread to other parts of the body.
