To answer your question, the answer is yes. However, the wart can spread to other areas of the foot. It is a virus infection. No cure. Many treatments. No one method is the best. Fir that very reason I used topical salicylic acid with Retin A cream on a weekly basis. Bandage on for 3 days. Could take 1 month to one year to resolve but not painful. No procedure can be guaranteed good luck.

Plantar warts overwhelmingly do not cause cancer. Removal will depend on wheter you have a problem with it
