warts common

Warts are small growths on the skin caused by a virus called human papillomavirus.

These are typically round bumps that can be flat or resemble cauliflower.

The virus is transmitted by contact and enters the body through small skin lesions.

Warts can appear anywhere on the body, but are typically found on the hands and feet.

Viral warts on the soles of the feet are often called plantar warts.

They can be treated with medications (applied directly to the wart) or frozen and once treated they can be repeated, since the virus usually leaves the skin after 2 years.

Risks:

The wart virus is spread by contact, making it contagious. The virus causes skin cells to multiply and produce a characteristic fleshy lump. Common warts can affect people of all ages. Children, young adults, and people with a weakened immune system tend to develop warts more easily than other people.

Symptoms:

A wart is a small fleshy lump that can either be flattened on top or resemble a cauliflower.
They can occur throughout the body, but usually appear on the hands and feet.
Warts are usually not painful.
The color can vary between white and red and skin color.
Some types of warts have small black dots in the middle.

Diagnosis:

A wart can usually be diagnosed just by looking at it at a doctor's office.
In some cases, small parts of the wart can be removed and sent to the laboratory to rule out other possible causes.

Treatment:

• There are many methods to remove warts.
• Often the first option is to apply a medication containing salicylic acid directly to the wart.
• In a medical consultation, the wart can also be removed by freezing it by applying liquid nitrogen to the skin.
• If not successful, alternative treatments may be prescribed.
• Warts on the face are usually treated at a doctor's office to avoid damaging the skin.

Forecast:

Common warts are treatable but can come back.
It usually takes 2 years for the virus to leave the skin, and after that period the warts should not reappear unless an infection occurs again.
