Skin Warts are noncancerous skin growths caused by a viral infection in the top layer of the skin or mucous membranes.
Some scientists believe skin warts are also caused by stress.
Viruses that cause skin warts belong to a "family" called human papillomavirus (HPV).
Warts are usually skin colored and feel rough to the touch, but can be dark, flat or smooth.
There are several different kinds of skin warts including :
Common warts.
Foot warts.
Flat warts.
Genital warts.
Common skin warts usually grow around the nails, on the fingers and on the backs of the hands.
Foot warts are usually on the soles of the feet and are called plantar warts.
Genital warts (also called condyloma) have become a common and worrisome problem in adults.
They tend to be small and flat but can be thin and tall.
These are soft, not rough and scaly like other warts.
Skin Warts probably are passed from person to person, sometimes indirectly.
The time between the first contact and the time that the warts can be seen is often several months.
The risk of catching hand, foot and flat skin warts is small.
Skin Warts often disappear without treatment over a period of several months to years.
However since skin warts can be spread to others or new areas of the body it is reasonable to treat most people especially if the warts are bothersome or painful.
Flat skin warts are smaller and smoother than other warts.
They tend to grow in great numbers, 20 to 100 at any one time.
They can occur anywhere, but in children they are most common on the face.
