Wartz

When skin warts appear, it can seem as if the harmless growths came out of nowhere.

      But common warts are actually an infection in the top layer of skin, caused by viruses in the human papillomavirus, or HPV, family. When the virus invades this outer layer of skin, usually through a tiny scratch, it causes rapid growth of cells on the outer layer of skin – creating the wart.People get warts from other people with warts, they don't get them from frogs and toads,” says Robert Brodell, MD, a dermatologist in Warren, Ohio. “The most common way is direct skin-to-skin contact, such as shaking hands with someone who has warts on their hand. You can also get the virus from inanimate objects, like towels that have been used by someone with a wart.”

        The viruses are more likely to cause warts when they come in contact with skin that is damaged or cut. Getting a small scrape or biting fingernails may bring on wart. Similarly, cuts and nicks from shaving can provide an avenue for infection. This explains why men may have warts in the beard area, while women often have them appear on the legs.

What are some types of common warts?

• There is the familiar type of dome-shaped warts on the backs of fingers, toes, and knees.
• Plantar warts are found on the sole or plantar surface of the foot (not to be mislabeled as a Planter's wart).
• Flat ("plane") warts may arise on the face, legs, and other parts of the body, often in large numbers.
• Periungual warts are warts around or under the nail.
• Filiform warts typically appear as a single long stalk, often on the face.

Even the name sounds unpleasant! Warts can be disfiguring and frustrating, as they are difficult to treat and do not have a definite cure.
