Are planter warts bad for your health?
Plantar warts are noncancerous skin growths on the soles of your feet caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which enters your body through tiny cuts, breaks or other vulnerable sites on the skin of your feet. Most plantar warts aren't a serious health concern and may not require treatment. However, plantar warts can be bothersome or painful. ChaCha!

About Plantar Warts
Plantar warts are noncancerous growths that occur on the sole (plantar surface), heel, or on the ball of the foot. Pressure from standing and walking often causes them to grow into the deep layers of the skin. Plantar warts can occur when HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) invades the body through tiny cuts or cracks in the skin on the bottom of the feet. People encounter the virus on contaminated surfaces, such as the tile floors of public locker rooms, showers, and swimming pools. Normally, antibodies in the blood destroy HPV, but in some cases, it takes refuge in the skin of the foot and causes plantar warts.
