Protecting Your Child’s Feet From Viral Skin Growths
Plantar warts are small, rough growths that develop on the bottom of the foot. Because they grow on weight-bearing areas, they may feel like a hard spot, callus, or pebble under the skin. Some children have no pain, while others feel discomfort when walking, running, or standing.
These warts are caused by certain types of HPV. They are not usually a serious health concern, but they can spread through direct contact or shared damp areas, such as locker rooms, pools, and showers. A proper exam can help confirm whether the growth is a wart and whether treatment is needed.
