Common warts tend to cause no discomfort unless they are in areas of repeated friction or pressure. Plantar warts, for example, can become extremely painful. Large numbers of plantar warts on the foot may cause difficulty walking or running.

Some warts will disappear without treatment, although it can sometimes take a couple of years. Treated or not, warts that go away often reappear. All warts can spread from one part of your own body to another. Unsightly or painful warts can be treated. Warts around and under your nails are much more difficult to cure than warts in other places.
Plantar warts, can often be differentiated from [[Callus|helomata]], corns, by close observation of skin striations. Feet, like hands, are covered in skin striae, which are more commonly called ''[[fingerprint]]s''. With plantar warts, the skin striae go around the lesion; if the lesion is not a plantar wart, the cells' [[DNA]] is not altered and the striations continue across the top layer of the skin. Plantar warts tend to be painful on application of pressure from eithe side of the lesion rather than direct pressure. Helomata tend to be painful on direct pressure rather than pressure from either side.
 
The difference between plantar warts and warts elsewhere on the body is that warts are generally outgrowth lesions, but on the bottom of the foot, they are pushed inward by the pressure of walking. Since the skin on the bottom of the foot tends to be thicker than elsewhere, the treatment of plantar warts is more difficult.
 
The appearance of the warts are as follows;
* Abnormally dark or light skin surrounding the lesion
* Numerous small, smooth, flat (pinhead sized) lesions on forehead, cheeks, arms, or legs
* Rough growths around or under fingernails or toenails
* Rough, round, or oval lesions on soles of feet -- flat to slightly raised -- painful to pressure
* Small, hard, flat or raised skin lesion or lump.

Overview

Common warts tend to cause no discomfort unless they are in areas of repeated friction or pressure. Plantar warts, for example, can become extremely painful. Large numbers of plantar warts on the foot may cause difficulty walking or running. Some warts will disappear without treatment, although it can sometimes take a couple of years. Treated or not, warts that go away often reappear. All warts can spread from one part of your own body to another. Unsightly or painful warts can be treated. Warts around and under your nails are much more difficult to cure than warts in other places.
