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.
When a wart is found on the bottom of the foot, it is known as a plantar wart. These warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). There are hundreds of types of HPV, but the most common type is verruca vulgaris, which causes what is called the common wart. Depending on the type you have, warts can appear on your hands, fingers, or feet. Warts on your feet are caused by an infection of the outer skin layer (epidermis) caused by HPV.
