What are the dangers of plantar warts on the feet?

Plantar warts are a very contagious skin disease. If they are not treated at the beginning, they may recur intermittently. Many children will get plantar warts, which is largely due to infection from their parents. It may be due to daily contact with the germs of their parents' plantar warts, or it may be congenital. When plantar warts grow on our feet, the first thing we’ll feel is that walking is uncomfortable, as if something is irritating us, and the clothes we wear will easily rub our feet. So what other harm does plantar warts on the feet do to our body?

Warts are growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus. It is more common in children and young people, with an incubation period of 1 to 3 months, and can spread by self-inoculation. The virus exists in the spinous cells and can promote cell proliferation and form wart-like lesions. According to clinical manifestations and locations, they are divided into common warts, flat warts, plantar warts, genital warts (condyloma acuminatum), oral warts, pharyngeal warts and epidermodysplasia verruciformis.

Warts are caused by infection with the human papillomavirus. It can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact. Anal and genital warts are mostly transmitted through sexual contact. Trauma or skin damage is an important factor in HPV infection. The course of warts is closely related to the body's immunity. The incidence of warts is increased in patients with immunodeficiency, such as kidney transplant recipients, malignant lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia and lupus erythematosus. However, the mechanism by which warts persist in relatively healthy people is still unclear.

Tools/Raw Materials

Plantar warts mainly affect one's normal life and threaten the health of one's family. Many patients do not understand the dangers of plantar warts and do not seek timely treatment, which leads to further transmission of plantar warts.

The emergence of complications. Plantar warts are also related to human immunity. Once the infection increases, it will affect the immune system. May cause immune system disorders.

Carcinogenicity. Some cancer patients were statistically analyzed, and most of them were related to the human papillomavirus that causes plantar warts.
