Wart Removal

Warts are small rough growths which infect the top layer of skin and they often develop on the hands and feet. They vary in appearance and may develop on their own or in clusters. Warts affect particular areas of the body, for example, verruca's are warts that usually develop on the soles of the feet.

Warts are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and they typically occurs on the hands or feet but also in other locations.
Most people will have warts at some time in their life, although they tend to affect children and teenagers more than adults. Warts can appear at any age but are more common in older children and are uncommon in the elderly.

I'm sure that over the years we have all heard the numerous wart jokes.
Wart's the matter ?
Wart time is it ?
Wart's that thing on your face ?
All quite amusing..... as long as it isn't you that actually has the darned thing !

The appearance of a wart varies, depending on  its location and the type of virus that has caused it. Most warts go away after a year or two, but some can last for years or return after going away. When warts are located in areas that are rubbed against clothing or bumped frequently, they can become irritated and the skin around them can become painful and they can itch and bleed.

There are many types of warts and these include :

Common Warts - Common warts are firm and can be light grey, flesh-coloured, yellow, brown or grey-black. They most often appear near the fingernails and on the backs of the hands, but they can also appear on the elbows and knees. Common warts do not usually hurt.

Filiform or digitate wart - are most common on the face, especially near the eyelids and lips.

Genital wart - (venereal wart) is a wart that occurs on the genitalia.

Mosaic warts -  they are a group of tightly clustered warts, commonly found on the hands or soles of the feet.

Periungual wart - is a cauliflower-like cluster of warts that occur around the nails.

Plantar wart - (verruca, verruca plantaris) this is a hard painful lump, often with multiple black specks in the centre, usually only found on pressure points on the soles of the feet.

Now, if you have a wart or verruca, the first port of call should be the chemist for home treatments.
