Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question and for finding EmpowHER. Plantar warts can be annoying. They are more common among children and teens, but can occur in adults also. These warts often are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). The virus could have been picked up from walking barefoot on an unsanitary surface (for example).
For more information and including treatment options and preventing recurrence, please check out this link: Plantar Wart Information
Good luck, and let us know how you're doing.
