Plantar warts on the soles of the feet are usually a sign of infection with HPV, or human papillomavirus.
Plantar warts are a type of common wart, mainly due to infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes benign skin growths on the plantar area of the foot, especially on the heel, the front of the plantar area of the foot, or between the toes at the place of pressure.
In addition to hyperkeratosis of the metatarsal area, exfoliation of the keratin reveals a loose keratinous soft core surrounded by scattered black dots caused by capillary hemorrhage, which may be accompanied by pain when walking, affecting daily life and work.
Trauma and friction are the causes of the disease, and excessive sweating of the feet may also cause plantar warts, especially in people with low immunity. The disease can be contracted through direct contact with the patient’s skin, or by walking barefoot around swimming pools or public bathrooms.
It is recommended that patients should take into account their own situation and, if necessary, cooperate with the doctor to give relative treatment, so as to avoid delays in the condition.
