Why do plantar warts hurt more than other warts?

Plantar Warts

Due to their location, plantar warts tend to hurt more than other types of warts.

1. Pressure Points: The soles of your feet is where your body bears all of its weight. Since plantar warts grow on the soles, this constant pressure forces the wart deeper into the skin, compressing nerve endings and causing pain.
2. Inward Growth: Plantar warts are pushed inward because of the pressure from standing and walking. This inward growth adds to the discomfort, compared to warts on other parts of the body that tend to grow outward.
3. Surrounding Cllus Formation: In response to the wart, skin around the wart tends to thicken and forms calluses. The hardened layer of skin can add to the discomfort and pain. 
4. Location Near Nerve Endings: A wart in the soles of the feet can disrupt the high concentration of nerve endings, leading to a sharp and aching pain.
5. Inflammation: Inflammation may arise as it tries to fight the virus causing the wart.
