What Causes Warts?
Warts can develop as a result of an infection with various strains of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in the skin. Different strains of the virus can lead to wart growth in various areas of the body.
However, it's important to note that not everyone infected with HPV will develop warts. The variation in the immune response of each individual plays a significant role. Individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those on immunosuppressant medications or those dealing with critical illnesses, are at a higher risk of developing warts. In some cases, wart growth can occur in the genital area as a result of sexually transmitted infections.
What Are The Different Type Of Warts?
Warts come in various types, each with distinct characteristics and locations on the body. Here are some common types of warts:
- Common warts: These are scaly, pea-sized growths that typically appear on the extremities.
- Mosaic warts: These are small, white warts that are often painless and may partially or completely cover the soles of the feet.
- Filiform warts: These warts appear on the face and have a spiky, brush-like appearance, which can be a significant aesthetic concern.
- Plantar warts: These warts usually grow on the ankles and soles of the feet. They can be uncomfortable as they grow inward and become challenging to treat.
- Flat or plain warts: These warts are small, brown, and elevated. They are commonly found on the face and arms.
- Periungual warts: These warts develop around the nails and initially appear tiny, smooth, shiny, and colorless. Over time, they may transform into brown or black growths with a horny texture and may develop fissures, inflammation, and tenderness.
- Genital warts: These are sexually transmitted growths that affect the genital area. They are typically small and scaly.
Knowing the different types of warts is essential to determine the most suitable and safe treatment for their removal.
