Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
plantar wart
The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is known to be responsible for some skin lesions such as warts or because of its involvement in cervical cancer.
Certain HPV genotypes are the cause of plantar warts, commonly known as papillomas. These lesions appear on the soles of the feet and on the palms of the hands. Their appearance is similar to that of helomas or calluses, and they mainly differ from these because not always manifest in pressure zones, They have black dots called papillae and they produce more pain when “pinched” than when pressed.
