warts information

Warts are small, hard, abnormal, but benign elevations on the skin. They are caused by one of many different strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV) family. Each strain of HPV causes a different type of wart. The most common type of wart is referred to as a “common wart”, and may be found on the hands and face. “Plantar warts” are warts that are found on the feet, and “venereal warts” are warts found on the genitals. Flat warts are another common type of wart that are smaller and smoother than other warts; they tend to grow on women’s legs, children’s faces, and the neck. Warts are usually harmless and do not cause other illnesses, except in the case of genital warts which have been linked to cervical cancer.
