There is no difference. All warts are caused by the viruses in the human papillomavirus (HPV) family. Plantar wars are, by definition, warts on the the feet because "plantar" is the medical term for the sole of the foot. Plantar warts often look different because they grow inwards instead of outwards. They are also very common in teens, who get them walking barefoot in the locker room (another reason to hate gym glass)

All warts are caused by viruses. A plantar wart is a wart that develops on the sole of the foot.

FWIW, Plantar warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). http://www.podiatrychannel.com/plantarwarts/index.shtml

if you really want to get rid of warts forever then you should know that you can remove warts by surgery, freezing, laser, acid or with cream but warts can reappear again and again because warts appears when your immune system is weak! so you must build up your immune system because your body can get rid of warts by itself if your immune system will be strong! so eat more healthy food, more vitamins and more sport activities!
(No smoking, no beer/ale, no booze, no drugs, no junk food, no fast food garbage, no sugary sweet soda's. Get on a good, balanced, healthy diet including plenty of boiled or steamed vegetables. Drink P L E N T Y O F W A T E R , fruit juices & fat free milk. Snack on lots of RAW fruit & veggies. Get up one hour early every morning & take a BRISK 30 minute walk - then - do the same thing again in the evening after dinner. Make sure you eat a good, balanced breakfast daily. You get your energy for the day from your breakfast meal. Get 8 hours sleep each night. Flip your mattress over so it will level out to give you a good night's rest. Slack off too much coffee & tea.)

HPV is the virus that causes warts. And HPV virus has many strains. In your case you have HPV virus strain number 2. People can be infected with HPV and never show any symptoms. Others will develop warts. These warts can stay the same size, grow, or go away on their own. It depends on the infected person's immune system. A healthy immune system means your body may be able to suppress the virus and not show symptoms.

also you should use some herbal treatment!

in that case Wartrol is really good (probably the best) product that gets rid of warts comparatively fast and makes you feel more confident knowing that they wont reappear again! it says that it is designed for Genital Warts but
it does not matter because warts are warts and wartrol works by stimulating your immune system to fight the HPV virus that causes the warts. of course it is better if you use full course (5 months - if I remember correctly).

It worked and still works for me!

I do not know if any pharmacies carry Wartrol but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.wartrol.com/?aid=221781

The advantage of Wartrol over other natural treatments for warts is that, since it is taken orally, it can also act on invisible warts that can't be treated by other creams and natural remedies.

good luck!

viral wart --> verruca vulgaris
A keratotic papilloma of the epidermis which occurs most
frequently in young persons as a result of localised infection by
human papilloma virus, usually types 2 and 4; the lesions are of variable duration, eventually undergoing spontaneous regression, and are both exophytic and endophytic, with hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, hypergranulosis, koilocytosis, and papillomatosis.
Synonym: common wart, infectious warts, verruca simplex, viral wart.


Plantar wart

plantar wart

A wart on the sole, often painful; usually caused by human papilloma virus type 1.

Synonym: verruca plantaris.

pointed wart, obsolete term for condyloma acuminatum.

postmortem wart, a tuberculous warty growth (tuberculosis cutis verrucosa) on the hand of one who performs postmortem examinations.

Synonym: anatomical tubercle, anatomical wart, dissection tubercle, necrogenic wart, postmortem tubercle, prosector's tubercle, prosector's wart, verruca necrogenica.
