A wart is generally a small, rough tumor, typically on hands and feet but often other locations, that can resemble a cauliflower or a solid blister. More common in kids than in adults, warts are skin infections caused by viruses of the human papillomavirus (HPV) family.
They can affect any area of the body, but tend to invade warm, moist places, like small cuts or scratches on the fingers, hands, and feet. Warts are usually painless unless they're on the soles of the feet or another part of the body that gets bumped or touched all the time.
Cause of Warts:
Warts are caused by a virus known as the human papillomavirus (HPV). There are 100 or more types of HPV. Some types of HPV cause relatively harmless conditions, such as common warts, while others may cause serious disease, such as cancer of the cervix. And, different types of HPV cause different types of warts.
Wart Symptoms:
Warts come in various shapes and sizes and usually appear as rough elevations on the skin. These elevations appear more frequently on the fingers, elbows, knees, face, and scalp. Those that appear on the soles of the feet are called plantar warts. They are very painful and the sufferer is not able to walk properly.
