What is a plantar wart?
A wart is caused by a virus that invades the skin through an opening, such as a cut or tear. They appear spongy, with red, brown or black spots known as “rete pegs” which are capillaries. Warts are commonly seen on the bottom of the feet (plantar warts) and may be mistaken for a corn or callus. FYI- The 52 bones in your feet make up about one quarter of all of the bones in your body.
