What Are the Causes and Symptoms of Warts?
Warts come in many shapes and sizes, and can be found almost anywhere on the body. Let’s take a look at some of the different types of warts, and how and where they typically form. • Common warts are most often found on the back of the hands, around the fingernails, and on the fingers themselves. They are more likely to be a problem for individuals who bite their nails, or pick at hang nails. The virus can penetrate areas of the skin easier that are broken or irritated. You may only have one isolated wart, or they can be found in multiples. They generally appear as small bumps of flesh that are grainy and rough to the touch. Warts may be flesh-colored, pink, tan, or white. Much of the time they will exhibit one or more tiny black dots, which are sometimes called “wart seeds,” but are actually blood vessels that have clotted. Common warts are usually painless, and are only removed for cosmetic purposes or to avoid spreading them throughout the body. Young adults and kids have the highes
