What Are Warts?
Warts are small, rough, and raised skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are non-cancerous but contagious, and may spread to other parts of the body or from person to person.
Causes of Warts
- Infection by HPV through small cuts or breaks in the skin
- Direct contact with warts or contaminated surfaces
- Weakened immune system
- Moist, warm environments like swimming pools or showers
Types of Warts
| Type | Description | Common Areas |
|---|---|---|
| Common Warts | Raised, rough surface growths | Fingers, hands, knees |
| Plantar Warts | Flat, painful warts that grow inward | Soles of feet |
| Flat Warts | Smooth, flat-topped warts | Face, arms, legs |
| Filiform Warts | Thread-like projections | Eyelids, lips, neck |
| Genital Warts | Flesh-colored or pinkish bumps | Genitals, anus |
