What are Warts?
Warts and warts are benign skin lesions that frequently appear in both children and adults. These skin problems are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is acquired through direct skin-to-skin contact.
They generally measure a few millimeters and have a rough appearance. These skin conditions are most frequently located on the hands and feet, although there are also other types of warts that affect the genitals. They can spread to other areas of the skin so scratching or picking at them is not recommended. Some effective treatments to eliminate them are electrofulguration, cryotherapy and CO2 laser.
