The wart on my finger was stubborn and unsightly. The dermatologist’s treatment worked wonders, and I’m so happy with the result!
NayaniViral warts are small, rough, and raised skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are commonly found on the hands, feet, and face, but they can develop on any area of the body. Warts can spread through direct contact with an infected person or by touching surfaces that have been exposed to the virus. The warts can appear as a single growth or in clusters, and they vary in size and shape.
The most common symptoms of viral warts include small, firm growths that are typically raised above the skin’s surface. They may have a rough texture and can appear flesh-colored, white, or pink. Some warts may also have tiny black dots inside them, which are blood vessels. Although viral warts are generally harmless, they can cause discomfort, particularly when they appear on the soles of the feet or in areas where pressure is applied.
If you experience frequent warts, persistent pain, or warts that are spreading rapidly, it’s important to seek medical attention. In some cases, over-the-counter treatments may be sufficient, but if the warts are painful, difficult to treat, or causing significant discomfort, professional treatment options like cryotherapy, laser removal, or topical treatments may be necessary.
