Common warts, flat warts and plantar warts are caused by different strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) and appear on the hands, face, feet or genitals.
What is it?
Warts are noncancerous rough bumps that form on the skin and develop when HPV enters the body through a cut or break in the skin. These raised, skin-colored growths can develop anywhere on the body and look like a blister. They’re harmless, but many of our patients prefer to remove them because they can be spread through contact and also . . . they just don’t want these warts hanging around on their skin!
How is it treated?
There is no cure for the virus that causes warts, but the Associated Dermatologists team can treat warts as soon as they appear to prevent growth and spreading.
