What You Need to Know About 足底疣

What Are 足底疣?

Plantar warts are noncancerous skin growths found on the sole of the foot. They develop beneath pressure points, such as heels or balls of the foot. This pressure can also cause a plantar wart to grow inward under a hard, thick layer of skin.

What Causes 足底疣?

Plantar warts are caused by one of the strains of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV).

The virus thrives in warm, moist environments and a person can get infected through a simple cut or crack in the skin. The incubation period is unknown but has been estimated to vary from months to years.

Plantar warts are seen in all age groups, but they are most common among children 12-16 years of age.

There are a number of risk factors for the development of plantar warts including:

• Communal showers or walking barefoot in public areas such a public pool
• Weakened immune system
• 皮肤创伤

症状

Common symptoms of plantar warts include the following:

• Small, fleshy, grainy growths on the soles of your feet
• Pain when walking or standing
• Firm lesions with tiny pinpoint dark spots inside
• Located over areas of pressure or bony points such as the heel and ball of the foot
• Several warts may fuse to form mosaic warts
