Wart : Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

A wart is an abnormal small growth on the skin, which is caused by the virus called human papillomavirus (HPV).

Warts can appear at any age and anywhere on the body but commonly appear on the hands and feet and in children and teenagers.

The shape of wart looks like a solid blister or a small cauliflower and sometimes, tiny black dots on warts appear due to clotted blood vessels.

These are highly contagious and spread easily through skin-to-skin contact.

The virus may also be transmitted by sharing personal towels or razors.

Most warts are harmless but may take months or years to grow large enough and to disappear.
