Signs and Symptoms
Warts may occur singly or in groups and often have multiple small black "dots" at the surface from tiny blood vessels.

Plantar warts are rough, thick, and callus like, and they often cause tenderness on the soles of the feet, usually on weight-bearing areas. 

Plantar wart infection may be one of the following:
  • Small – just one or a few painless lesions
  • Moderate – multiple lesions
  • Giant – the wart covers a large part of the sole
