  https://thekingsleyclinic.com/resources/plantar-warts-symptoms-causes-and-treatment-options/

  Callus formation is observed in 50-70% of plantar wart cases. A callus is a thickened skin area that forms due to repeated pressure or friction. In plantar warts, the callus develops as the body tries to protect underlying tissues from the wart’s pressure. The presence of a callus can make the wart appear larger and more painful, adding to the pressure on the affected area. Calluses can complicate treatment, as they may need to be removed before the wart can be effectively treated. […] Bleeding occurs in 30-50% of cases, usually when the wart is irritated or traumatized. Plantar warts can bleed if scratched, picked at, or subjected to excessive pressure. The bleeding happens because the wart contains small blood vessels that can rupture when disturbed. While bleeding is not typically serious, it can increase the risk of infection and cause additional discomfort.
