Plantar warts, which are caused by viral infection, can be transmitted through self-inoculation through tiny breaks in the skin, thus increasing in number. Due to the daily stress on the soles of the feet and the friction of shoes, plantar warts are very easy to inoculate themselves and become infected; and due to the thick cuticle on the friction surface, it makes treatment difficult and difficult to cure at one time. : 1. Growth position: Corns are mainly at the stress point. The growth position of plantar warts is not fixed and can be in any position. 2. Cross-section glossiness: Use a knife to remove the cuticle (old skin) and you will see that the corns have a smooth cross-section; the plantar warts have a rough cross-section with black bleeding spots. 3. Quantity: The number of corns is small and will not increase if stimulated (scraping, stabbing, digging, scratching, scratching, etc.) with a knife; the number of plantar warts may be larger, but the number of plantar warts will increase and increase after stimulation. 4. Contagiousness: Corns are not contagious, but plantar warts are highly contagious. 5. Bleeding: When the cuticle (old skin) is peeled off with a knife, corns will not bleed, but plantar warts are particularly prone to bleeding. 6. Cause: Corns are caused by extrusion, friction, etc.; plantar warts are caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) due to low immunity or excessive sweating or trauma. 7. Size: Corns are generally small (such as rice grains and beans), and plantar warts may be large (such as enlarging to the entire foot root after stimulation). 8. Pain: tenderness (press the affected area with your hand and press down), Pinch pain (pinch both sides of the affected area with thumb and index finger and squeeze).
