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.
Disorders of the nerves to the feet may cause numbness and burning sensation in the feet known as peripheral neuropathy. Plantar warts commonly found on the bottom of the foot are caused by a virus and can cause irritation. Athlete's foot, which is caused by a fungus, also can lead to foot irritation.
