Educational video describing skin warts.
Skin warts are a solid blister, small rough growth that looks like cauliflower and it is caused by a virus infection (HPV human papillomavirus). There are many types of warts. The most common types are harmless, although contagious.
A person with a broken area of the skin may be subject to contacting the virus. Skin warts can be multiple. They usually disappear after several months but they may last for years and reoccur.
Some say that you get warts from touching frogs and toads. Skin warts come from human viruses not from frogs and toads.
The most common warts occurs on the hands. Verruca vulgaris is a raised wart with a roughened surface. They can also occur on the face, genitals or the soles of the feet. It is a thickened skin tissue.
Treatment
•Many topical products can be used.
•Topical treatment contains salicylic acid which is better than a placebo.
•Cryotherapy is also useful
•All treatment is aimed to remove the wart and the wart may regrow after it is removed.
•Silver nitrate may be used but it may pigment the skin.
Warts are hard to treat. There is no cure for the wart virus. The patient should not have contact with other people’s warts. The patient should not try to remove warts from the face or genitals. Data shows that half of them resolves in one year. 70% may resolve in two years. Avoid any treatment that may produce scarring.
