The typical wart is a raised round or oval growth on the skin with a rough surface. Compared with the surrounding normal skin, warts may appear light, dark, or black (rare). Most adults are familiar with the look of a typical wart and have little trouble recognizing it. Unusual warts with smooth surfaces or flat warts in children may be more difficult for parents to recognize.
Plantar warts are benign [[epithelial]] [[tumors]] caused by infection by human papilloma virus types 1, 2, 4, or 63. All warts can spread from one part of your own body to another. They may spread from one person to another, but this is uncommon. Infection typically occurs on moist walking surfaces such as showers, swimming pools, or shoes. The virus can survive many months without a host, making it highly contagious.
Common warts tend to cause no discomfort unless they are in areas of repeated friction or pressure. Plantar warts, for example, can become extremely painful. Large numbers of plantar warts on the foot may cause difficulty walking or running.
 
Some warts will disappear without treatment, although it can sometimes take a couple of years. Treated or not, warts that go away often reappear. All warts can spread from one part of body to another.
Unsightly or painful warts can be treated. Warts around and under nails are much more difficult to cure than warts in other places.

Overview

Plantar warts are benign epithelial tumors caused by infection by human papilloma virus types 1, 2, 4, or 63. All warts can spread from one part of your own body to another. They may spread from one person to another, but this is uncommon. Infection typically occurs on moist walking surfaces such as showers, swimming pools, or shoes. The virus can survive many months without a host, making it highly contagious.
