The reasons
Plantar warts are caused by an HPV infection in the outer layer of skin on the soles of your feet. They occur when the virus enters your body through tiny cuts, breaks, or other weak points on the soles of your feet.
HPV is very common and there are over 100 types of viruses. But few of them cause warts on the feet. Other types of HPV are more likely to cause warts elsewhere on your skin or on the mucous membranes.Plantar warts Treatment in Khammam
