Verruca plantaris, or plantar warts, is a viral infection caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The most common causes of transmission of plantar warts are due to barefoot walking in high-risk areas such as communal showers, locker rooms, and/or indoor swimming pools. Plantar warts typically present as small calloused areas with circular black dots on the surface of your skin. These black dots represent the capillaries or blood source supplying the wart underneath your skin.
Prevention:
Some simple things you can do to reduce your risk of getting plantar warts is to wear shower shoes or sandals in public areas such as showers, pools, and locker rooms. It is important to clean and dry your feet after exercising. Also, it’s a good idea to change out of your running sneakers to casual sneakers after a run if possible. It is also highly recommended to never run barefoot.
