Warts
Looking for safe and effective wart removal in Jamshedpur? Dr. Kumar Skin and Laser Clinic offers advanced treatments to remove warts, providing relief from discomfort and cosmetic concerns.
What Are Warts?
Warts are small, benign growths that appear on the skin or mucous membranes caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are typically rough, raised, and vary in size and shape. Warts can develop anywhere on the body but are most common on the hands, feet, and face. Though generally harmless, warts can be unsightly, uncomfortable, and, in some cases, contagious.
There are several types of warts, including:
- Common Warts: Often found on hands, fingers, and knees.
- Plantar Warts: Found on the soles of the feet, causing pain when walking.
- Flat Warts: Smaller, smoother warts typically found on the face or legs.
- Filiform Warts: Long, narrow warts usually appearing around the mouth, eyes, or nose.
- Genital Warts: Found in the genital or anal area, caused by certain strains of HPV.
Causes of Warts
Warts are caused by a viral infection in the skin, specifically the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus enters through small cuts or breaks in the skin. Some factors that increase the risk of warts include:
- Direct Contact with an Infected Person: Warts are contagious and can spread through skin-to-skin contact.
- Weakened Immune System: People with compromised immunity (e.g., those with HIV or undergoing chemotherapy) are more prone to warts.
- Frequent Skin Injury: Cuts, scrapes, or wounds make it easier for the virus to enter the skin.
- Exposure to Contaminated Surfaces: Walking barefoot in public places like swimming pools or gyms increases the risk of plantar warts.
Symptoms of Warts
- Raised, rough bumps on the skin.
- Pain or tenderness in areas like the feet (plantar warts).
- Slight bleeding when warts are irritated or scratched.
- Itchiness or discomfort when warts are located on areas with friction.
