What Are Warts?
Warts are skin growths that are very common in adults and can develop on pretty much any part of the body. These skin growths are caused by different strains of a virus called HPV. Warts can be spread from person to person through skin contact.
In many cases, warts are no reason for concern. However, if you wish to have warts removed for cosmetic reasons, it is very important that you have warts removed by a medical professional.
People can often confuse warts with moles or other forms of skin conditions. This is why it is very important that you have warts examined by a medical professional. This professional will be able to advise you on what type of skin growth you have, and how it should be handled. If it is suspected that a skin growth is possibly cancerous, a test will need to be done.
Removing warts, moles, or other skin growths on your own is dangerous. Do not attempt to remove warts, moles, or other skin growths.
