Plantar Warts Overview. Warts are caused by an infection of the skin by human papillomavirus (HPV), which is the most common viral infection of the skin. Plantar warts grow on the plantar surface or the sole of the foot. They can be found anywhere in this area but tend to produce symptoms in areas of pressure and friction.
1 Between treatments, the dead layers of the wart are filed down. 2  However, because plantar warts often go away on their own, it is not clear if the duct tape actually works or simply coincides with the wart disappearing.ecause of their flat appearance and location on the bottom of the foot, plantar warts are frequently mistaken for calluses. Like calluses, plantar warts have tough, thick skin. However, unlike calluses, a plantar wart is painful when squeezed. A plantar wart may also have black dots on its surface.
