What exactly is Wart ?

  • A small, raised bump may appear on the skin.
  • The average size can range from one to 10 millimeters.
  • The wart may have a rough or smooth surface.
  • Warts can occur singly or in clusters.
  • In some cases, the wart may itch.
  • Face, feet, knees, and hands are most commonly affected.

What are the complications of warts? Most warts go away without any significant problems. Sometimes warts cause issues, such as: Cancer: HPV and genital warts are linked to several different cancers, including anal cancer, cervical cancer and throat (oropharyngeal) cancer

Warts are caused by certain strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV). There are lots of different strains of HPV and these cause different types of warts. HPV causes too much keratin (a hard protein) to develop in the top skin layer (epidermis).

  • Avoid direct contact with warts. This includes your own warts.
  • Don't pick at warts. Picking may spread the virus.
  • Don't use the same emery board, pumice stone, or nail clipper on your warts as you use on your healthy skin and nails. Use a disposable emery board.
  • Don't bite your fingernails.
  • Groom with care.

Anyone can develop warts, but factors that increase the risk include: Injuries to the skin. Skin infections that break the skin surface. Frequently getting the hands wet.
