- What are Common Warts?

Common Warts are noncancerous skin growths caused by a virus called the human papillomavirus (HPV). There are 60 or more types of HPV. Some types tend to cause warts on your skin. Common warts usually occur on your hands, fingers or near your fingernails. Other types of HPV tend to cause warts in other places, such as on the soles of the feet, the genitals or the face and legs.

- What are the causes?

Common Warts occur through direct contact with the human papillomavirus (HPV). Some types of Warts— such as Genital Warts— are quite contagious, but the chance of catching Common Warts from another person is small.

Warts usually spread through breaks in skin, Biting nails can also cause warts to spread on fingertips and around nails.

- What are the symptoms?

How do they appear? Common Warts appear in the following forms:Small, fleshy bumps
Flesh-colored
Rough to the touch.

Warts may occur singly or in multiples. They often contain one or more tiny black dots, which are sometimes called wart seeds but are actually small, clotted blood vessels. Common Warts are usually painless.

- What is the treatment?

The two most common treatments for Warts include patient-applied salicylic acid and physician-administered cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen.

- How much would a treatment for a case of Warts cost?
