Overview: Warts are non-cancerous growths on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are generally harmless but can be bothersome and contagious. Warts can appear on various parts of the body, including the hands, feet, face, and genital area.

Types of Warts:

1. Common Warts (Verruca Vulgaris):

• Description: Raised, rough-surfaced warts that often develop on the hands, fingers, or around the nails.
• Symptoms: Rough, grainy texture with black dots (tiny blood vessels).

1. Plantar Warts:

• Description: Hard, flat growths on the soles of the feet, often surrounded by hardened skin.
• Symptoms: Pain or tenderness while walking or standing; small, pinpoint black spots.

1. Flat Warts (Verruca Plana):

• Description: Small, smooth, flat-topped warts that often appear in clusters, commonly on the face, neck, or hands.
• Symptoms: Flesh-colored or slightly pink, with a flat or slightly raised surface.

1. Filiform Warts:

• Description: Long, narrow, thread-like warts that often appear on the face, eyelids, or neck.
• Symptoms: Rapid growth; may have a color similar to the surrounding skin.

1. Genital Warts:

• Description: Soft growths that appear on or around the genital and anal areas.
• Symptoms: Can be raised or flat; may occur singly or in clusters; some may be too small to see.

Symptoms of Warts:

1. Skin Growth:

• The primary symptom is the presence of a skin growth, which may vary in size, color, and texture depending on the type of wart.

1. Pain or Discomfort:

• Warts, especially plantar warts, can cause pain or discomfort, particularly when pressure is applied.

1. Itching or Irritation:

• Some warts may cause itching or irritation, especially if they are in areas prone to friction.

1. Black Dots:

• Common warts may have tiny black dots, which are small, clotted blood vessels.
