There viruses pass from one to other while having sexual contact without their consciousness. These remain dormant and pass from the infected person to the other, and so on.
The sole and toes are the major parts affected by the plantar warts. Public places like swimming pools are the major breeding areas for these viruses, where they remain active for certain period of time. One way to avoid this is to avoid walking barefoot in such damp areas.

their shape instead of confusing them with cancer moles. It looks like cauliflower bumps which can appear anywhere. They appear flattened or even bumpy with edges around and have a rough touch.
