Foot warts are found at the bottom of the foot. A foot wart is about 1 cm in diameter and is generally paler than the nearby skin. It has tiny black dots at the center.
Foot warts have the tendency to group together into clusters. And because it is at the bottom of the foot, this type of wart is generally flat.
Sometimes, a foot wart causes pain because of the constant pressure exerted on it when walking. Furthermore, because of this constant pressure, it has the tendency to grow back inside the foot.
A foot wart is also known as plantar wart. The medical name for this type of wart is verruca plantaris or verruca.
The human papilloma virus (HPV) causes foot warts. This virus is also responsible for other type of warts. HPV can enter your skin from cuts or scratches. Take note that the human papilloma virus is contagious. Objects that are touched by another person who carries the virus may also be contagious.
The human papilloma virus dwells in wet and warm habitats. So, bathrooms and swimming pool areas are excellent places for this virus. It is a good idea to not walk bare footed in these areas.
And if you have a foot wart, then do not scratch it then touch other parts of your body afterwards. Do not to scratch it with your other foot, as well.
Treatment methods for foot warts include over the counter wart removal treatments, surgical wart removal treatment, and home treatments for warts.
