What are the symptoms and how are plantar warts diagnosed? These warts can look like small, fleshy bumps; hard, flat growths with a rough surface and well-defined boundaries; or gray or brown lumps with tiny pinprick-size black dots (clotted blood vessels that distinguish warts from bloodless corns and calluses).

Warts can look different depending on where they appear on the body and how thick the skin is. A wart on the sole of the foot is called a verruca.The clinical name for a verruca is a plantar wart.
