Common warts are benign growths that appear on the skin, typically characterized by rough, raised surfaces and a cauliflower-like appearance. They are caused by an infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), which enters the skin through small cuts or abrasions. Common warts, also known as verrucae vulgaris, are most frequently found on the hands, fingers, and knees, though they can appear anywhere on the body. They are contagious and can spread through direct contact with the wart or indirectly through contaminated surfaces such as shared towels or pool areas. The development of common warts is linked to HPV's ability to stimulate the rapid growth of skin cells, leading to the formation of these raised lesions. Factors that increase the risk of developing warts include having a weakened immune system, frequent skin injuries, and contact with individuals who have warts.
Treatment for common warts often involves methods to remove or destroy the wart tissue. Over-the-counter treatments, such as topical salicylic acid, work by dissolving the wart's outer layers and gradually eliminating it. Cryotherapy, a procedure where the wart is frozen with liquid nitrogen, is commonly used by healthcare professionals to destroy the wart tissue. Other treatments may include laser therapy or minor surgical procedures to remove the wart. For persistent or numerous warts, a healthcare provider can offer more advanced treatments and guidance. Maintaining good hygiene and avoiding contact with warts can help prevent their spread and recurrence.
