Brief Answer:
There seems a recurrence of warts; I suggest removal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic

I have taken note of your query and I have also reviewed the Images.

I can see that there is a recurrence of plantar warts. Warts are an Infection caused by human papilloma virus/ HPV.

Warts can reappear after seemingly complete cure specially if they were not removed completely or if some part of the infection is left over.

Commonly used methods to get rid of warts is either CO2 Laser ablation Or Radiofrequency cautery.
These procedures would ablate warts bearing tissue.
The goal of treatment should be to get rid of local infection completely so that warts don't recur.

Warts are not dangerous but being an infection they can spread to form more lesions.

Therefore it is better to get rid of the infection as soon as possible.

I suggest you to visit a dermatologist in your vicinity for the same.

Regards
