A plantar wart is a wart occurring on the bottom of the foot or toes. [5] Its color is typically similar to that of the skin. [2] Small black dots often occur on the surface. [5] One or more may occur in an area. [2] They may result in pain with pressure such that walking is difficult. [2] They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). [2]
In one extreme case, a ganglion cyst was observed to propagate extensively via the conduit of the common peroneal nerve sheath to a location in the thigh; in such cases surgery to the proximal joint to remove the articular connection may remove the need for a riskier, more extensive surgery in the neural tissue of the thigh.

The initial form of EV presents with only flat, wart-like lesions over the body, whereas the malignant form shows a higher rate of polymorphic skin lesions and development of multiple cutaneous tumors. [citation needed] Generally, cutaneous lesions are spread over the body, but some cases have only a few lesions which are limited to one extremity.
Because the TVC's entry point usually is the site of a trauma, wound or puncture in the skin (during an autopsy, for example), the most frequent site for the wart are the hands. But it can occur anywhere in the skin, such as in the sole of the feet, in the anus , and, in the case of children from developing countries , in the buttocks and knees .
Flat warts, technically known as verruca plana, are reddish-brown or flesh-colored, slightly raised, flat-surfaced, well-demarcated papule of 2 to 5 mm in diameter.
Molluscum contagiosum (MC), sometimes called water warts, is a viral infection of the skin that results in small raised pink lesions with a dimple in the center. [1] They may become itchy or sore, and occur singularly or in groups. [ 1 ]
Calluses (plantar in right foot and medial in left foot) A callus (pl.: calluses) is an area of thickened and sometimes hardened skin that forms as a response to repeated friction, pressure, or other irritation. Since repeated contact is required, calluses are most often found on the feet and hands, but they may occur anywhere on the skin.
