What is a Plantar Wart?
A wart is an infection caused by a virus, which can enter through a small cut or break in the skin. A wart is commonly seen on the bottom of the foot (plantar wart), but it can also appear on the top. Children, teens, and people with weakened immune systems are more vulnerable to the wart virus. |

Symptoms
Warts may appear spongy, with tiny red, brown, or black spots. They can grow up to an inch or more across, and can occur alone (solitary) or with smaller warts clustered nearby (mosaic). Warts are sometimes mistaken for corns or calluses. They can persist for years, and reoccur in the same spot. If left untreated, warts can spread to other parts of the foot, to the hand, or other areas of the body.
