What Are Warts?

Warts are non-cancerous skin growths triggered by specific strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Though they can affect people of all ages, they are especially common in children and those with weakened immune systems. Warts are contagious and may spread through direct skin contact or shared objects and surfaces. They often appear on the hands, feet, and face but can develop anywhere on the body. While typically harmless, warts can be uncomfortable, painful, or cosmetically bothersome—prompting many individuals to seek professional treatment for relief and prevention.

Signs & Symptoms of Warts

Warts can present differently based on their type and where they appear on the body. Typical signs include:

  • Rough, Elevated Bumps: Common warts often have a coarse texture and may resemble a cauliflower-like surface.
  • Black Pinpoints: Small black dots within the wart, known as “seeds,” are actually clotted blood vessels.
  • Flat or Smooth Lesions: These warts are typically smaller and smoother, and are more likely to appear on the face, hands, or legs.
  • Pain or Pressure Sensitivity: Warts located on the soles of the feet (plantar warts) can cause discomfort or pain, especially when walking or standing.

Identifying the type of wart is key to choosing the most effective treatment approach.
