Plantar warts are usually small, hard growths that appear on the bottom of the feet, often causing discomfort when walking or standing. Caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV), these warts can spread easily and may become painful if left untreated. While they’re not dangerous, they can be persistent and resistant to over-the-counter treatments.
