Do Plantar Warts Imply an HPV Infection?
I am 15 and just found one small plantar wart in the middle of the ball of my foot this morning as I was looking at my feet. I read about warts and identified mine as a plantar wart. These are common in teens and young adults, and are normally on the hands and feet. They are contracted from locker room floors, gyms, etc. This past week, I have been going to Karate classes which require my remove my socks and be on the floor mats which countless other barefoot individuals have used. I also read that they are caused by HPV types 1, 2, 4, 63. DOES THIS MEAN I AM INFECTED WITH HPV TYPES 1, 2, 4, or 63??? Please tell me what I can do and for how long the virus will be in me and how to remove the wart. Thanks so much. All the best to you and may this never happen to anyone out there.
