About Warts

What is a Wart?

A WART is an intraepidermal skin tumor caused by various viruses. The many varieties of warts that exist are named by the way they appear or where they are located. A wart is a small, circumscribed tumor of the outer or horny layer of the skin. There are flat and smooth warts as well as elevated warts, warts that are firm and rise from the surrounding skin.

Mainly caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), warts vary in size and may be painful, especially when located on the feet (plantar warts). The Human Papillomavirus belongs to a family of viruses that cause warts and has been implicated as a possible cause of genital cancers and, more recently, cancers and other abnormal growths of the eye.

Types of Warts

Common Warts

(Verruca Vulgaris)

These usually grow on the fingers and the backs of hands.

Plantar Warts

(Verruca Plantaris)

Foot Warts

These typically appear on the soles or plantar areas of the feet and are also referred to as plantar warts.

Flat Warts

These are smaller and smoother than other warts with the tendency to grow in large numbers, 20 to 100 at a time. They can develop anywhere on the body. Among children, they are most common on the face(facial warts). In adults they are often found in the chin area in men and on the legs in women.

Mosaic Warts

Named for the numerous warts that appear in a contiguous pattern. The 'mother' wart typically presents at the center of the mosaic wart, with smaller satellite lesions surrounding it.

More Info About Warts

Contagious and autoinculable

Warts are contagious and may be passed from one person to another through touching or any other kind of physical contact. It is also possible to contract warts by using objects handled by a person who has warts.

Warts can spread and form daughter warts

Warts can spread to other parts of the body and to other people. In a few cases, they have also been known to heal by themselves. However, wart treatment is important not only to prevent it from spreading, but to eliminate it, as well.

Infectious in origin

Like other viral infections, warts are highly contagious. Individuals can 'self-spread' these lesions. Plantar warts commonly develop in areas where the skin is traumatized. "Plantar warts can also be contracted from communal areas such as locker rooms, public or private bathrooms, and hotel rooms. To minimize the spread of warts in such settings, it is advisable to use disinfectants, wear sandals, and use clean towels.

Post-Treatment Issues with Surgery & Other Products

High Recurrence Rate of Warts

Recurrence rates vary depending on the treatment method and the type of wart involved (e.g., common, plantar, genital). A common wart removal treatment in the United States is a self-applied 5% imiquimod cream that stimulates the immune system to fight the virus and lesions. Common warts have a recurrence rate of approximately 13–19% with this treatment.

Large warts are sometimes surgically removed under local anesthesia. This treatment method has a recurrence rate of approximately 21%. In a study using self-applied podofilox gel, the cure rate was low at only 51% but the recurrence rate was only about 10%. For cryosurgery, the recurrence rate is quite high at 73%.

Suffering from multiple warts?

If you are suffering from multiple warts (HPV), other viruses or bacterial infections (flu, colds), it may be because of a weak immune system.
