Plantar Wart Growing. Like other warts they are harmless skin growths that are caused by a virus. You may feel as if theres a pebble under the skin.
Plantar Warts Grow Inward A plantar wart is defined as a wart on the sole of the foot. Plantar warts are benign not cancer and they are caused by human papillomavirus HPV. It grows inward as a result of the pressure the feet endure on.
Since those are two things you cant avoid additional standing and walking increase the pressure on the wart and send it further inward deep into your skin.
Warts are considered to be contagious. A common misconception is that plantar warts have seeds or roots that grow through the skin and can attach to the bone. The wart cannot live in any tissue except the skin. When your skin is moist and soft its easier to get infected with HPV.
