Yes!: Certain HPV types have a predilection for cutaneous epithelium and are found in plantar warts, common warts, flat warts, and butcher's warts. HPV types associated with plantar and common warts include type 1 and types 2 and 4, respectively. Flat warts are most often caused by HPV types 3 and 10, while butcher's warts (common warts that tend to occur in meat, poultry, and fish handlers) are most are most often associated with HPV types 7 and 2

Yes: HPV is the virus that causes warts. So all kinds of warts including ones on the hands and feet are due to the HPV virus.
