What Is a Plantar Wart?
A plantar wart is a skin growth caused by a viral infection in the outer layer of the skin. These warts commonly develop on the bottom of the foot, especially in pressure areas such as the heel, ball of the foot, or toes.
Because they are pushed inward by body weight, plantar warts often become painful with walking or standing.
​
Plantar warts may:
-
Cause pain with pressure
-
Interrupt normal skin lines
-
Develop tiny black pinpoint spots
-
Be mistaken for calluses or corns
-
Spread to other areas of the foot
Common Symptoms of Plantar Warts
You may have a plantar wart if you notice:
-
A rough, grainy lesion on the sole of the foot
-
Pain when walking or standing
-
A tender area that feels like stepping on a small stone
-
Thickened skin over a localized spot
-
A lesion that has not improved with over-the-counter treatment
Not every painful skin lesion on the foot is a wart. Corns, calluses, foreign body reactions, and other skin conditions can look similar. Proper diagnosis matters.
Why Plantar Warts Are Hard to Treat
-
They grow inward due to pressure
-
Thick skin blocks treatment
-
The virus can persist beneath the surface
-
​
This is why many warts:
-
Don’t respond to over-the-counter care
-
Return after partial treatment
