Symptoms and Causes
Signs & Symptoms of Warts
Identifying warts is relatively easy due to their unique appearance. Key signs and symptoms of warts include:
- Small, raised bumps on the skin
- Rough texture with or without black dots
- Discomfort or pain, especially in plantar warts
- Rapid growth in size or number of warts
- Itching or irritation in the affected area, especially in genital warts
What are the Causes of Warts?
Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which enters the body through tiny cuts, breaks, or weak spots on the skin. The virus is highly contagious and can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected person or by touching surfaces that have come into contact with the virus.
Certain factors can increase the risk of developing warts, including having a weakened immune system, frequent skin-to-skin contact with infected individuals, and walking barefoot in public areas such as swimming pools and locker rooms.
What are the Types of Warts?
There are several types of warts, each with distinct characteristics and locations they commonly affect:
- Common Warts (Verruca Vulgaris): These warts often appear on the hands, fingers, and knees. They have a rough, grainy texture and may have black dots, which are tiny blood vessels that feed the wart.
- Plantar Warts: These warts develop on the soles of the feet and can be painful, especially when walking. They may have black specks and hardened skin over them.
- Flat Warts (Verruca Plana): Flat warts are smoother and smaller than common warts and tend to appear in larger numbers, often on the face, neck, and legs.
- Genital Warts: These warts are transmitted through sexual contact and appear on or around the genital and anal areas. They are usually soft, moist, and flesh-colored.
Benefits of Warts Treatment
Wart treatment removes HPV-induced growths, preventing spread and restoring smooth skin.
Cryotherapy or salicylic acid destroys infected tissue, boosting immunity to fight HPV and reduce recurrence by 70-90%.​
Appearance Improvement
Eliminates rough, unsightly bumps on hands, feet, or face, enhancing confidence without visible scars from professional methods.​
Comfort Relief
Prevents pain from pressure (plantar warts) or irritation; quick procedures like laser minimize downtime.​
Spread Prevention
Stops contagious transmission to others or new body areas, especially important in households or public settings
How To Prevent Wart?
Prevent warts by avoiding HPV transmission through hygiene, protective measures, and skin care to block viral entry points.​
Hygiene Practices
Wash hands frequently, avoid touching warts, and don’t share towels, razors, or nail clippers to prevent household spread.​
Protective Footwear
Wear flip-flops in public showers, pools, and locker rooms to shield feet from moist surfaces where HPV thrives.​
Skin Protection
Cover cuts/scrapes with bandages, moisturize to prevent cracks, and stop nail biting for fewer entry points.​
Lifestyle Boosts
Quit smoking, manage excessive sweating, and consider HPV vaccine for genital wart prevention if eligible.​

Many of the techniques for preventing pimples may also be used to cure them. Eating well, avoiding stress, and not popping pimples may help manage zits and reduce their length. If your acne continues despite your best efforts, you may need prescription acne treatment. Consult your dermatologist if you’re uncertain about treatment.
